Proceeding contribution from Viscount Thurso (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 6 February 2014. It occurred during Backbench debate on Scotland’s Place in the UK.
Scotland’s Place in the UK
Was my hon. Friend struck, as I was, by the Treasury output graphs that we saw at the end of Governor Carney’s speech? They showed that banking in Scotland would represent 12.7 times the economy—five points greater than the seven times for Iceland—and that it would be unsustainable without the currency union provisions my hon. Friend is describing.
