Proceeding contribution from Tom Harris (Labour) in the House of Commons on Friday, 20 January 2012. It occurred during Debate on bill on Daylight Saving Bill.

Daylight Saving Bill

The Bill is carefully worded so as to respect the devolution settlement. Responsibility for changing the hours is devolved to the Northern Ireland Assembly, but it is not devolved to the Scottish Parliament and every piece of legislation that comes before this House must respect the Scotland Act 1998. As a pro-devolutionist, I firmly believe that, but the SNP wants to undermine devolution because it opposes it. The hon. Gentleman should be careful about aligning himself with the separatists.
