Proceeding contribution from Lord Sewel (Labour) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 28 February 2012. It occurred during Committee of the Whole House (HL) and Debate on bill on Scotland Bill.


Scotland Bill

On this point, the noble Lord, Lord Forsyth, mentioned on a number of occasions the real politics of the Bill. Following my noble friend Lord McFall, perhaps I may ask the Minister whether he is aware of the phrase, ““It's Scotland's oil””, and of how potent that would be in any debate if the Scottish Government brought forward an oil tax.
