Proceeding contribution from Mark Lazarowicz (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 26 April 2012. It occurred during Debate on bill on Scotland Bill.

Scotland Bill

I am genuinely sorry that the hon. Gentleman is not more positive in welcoming the Bill, but his support in the voting Lobby is obviously what matters. He mentions the things that have happened over the past year. In the past day, we have heard the amazing announcement by the First Minister that he is in favour of having the same income tax levels even if Scotland were to be given independence. Is it not amazing that a party that has been struggling for independence for 90 years is now telling us that, if Scotland were to become independent, nothing much would change?
