Proceeding contribution from Lord Forsyth of Drumlean (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 24 April 2012. It occurred during Debate on bill on Scotland Bill.
Scotland Bill
I am most grateful to the noble Lord for pointing out my role as opposition while in government. Is it not precisely because his party used that kind of language—of people not having a mandate in one part of the United Kingdom—that the Labour Party now finds itself wiped out by the nationalists in Scotland? It was a very foolish thing to do and by doing so as unionists the Labour Party undermined its own position.
