Proceeding contribution from Lord McCluskey (Crossbench) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 24 April 2012. It occurred during Debate on bill on Scotland Bill.

Scotland Bill

Before the noble and learned Lord sits down, will he reflect on this debate and draw the attention of his colleagues in government to the fact that the considerable improvements that have been made to the criminal justice appeals system in Scotland were achieved in a Bill discussed in this House by unelected Members who made all the necessary changes, including those that he made? There is perhaps a lesson there for those who are considering what changes to make to the constitution and powers of this House.
