Proceeding contribution from Lord Forsyth of Drumlean (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 28 March 2012. It occurred during Debate on bill on Scotland Bill.


Scotland Bill

I am grateful to my noble friend. However, he organised that meeting in the middle of lunchtime on Monday. We were given a few hours' notice of the meeting, and some Peers did not even know that it was happening. Some Peers were travelling down from Scotland. This Bill has been around for 18 months, so if the suggestion is that we have not been considering the arguments or been open to briefing, it is not correct.
