To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland what recent discussions he has had with the First Minister on membership of the EU; and if he will make a statement.
[134174]
No discussions have been held with the First Minister on membership of the EU. The UK Government has set out its view that the most likely scenario would be that an independent Scotland would have to join the EU as a new state, requiring negotiation with other member states including the terms of membership.

The number of MDP officers in Scotland were as follows:

Scotland | |
| 2008-09 | 821 |

| 2011-12 | 789 |
| 2012-13 | 711 |
The reduction in strength is due to a force-wide recruitment freeze that was introduced in August 2009 and a MOD Voluntary Early Release Scheme which began on 1 April 2010 and is ongoing until 31 March 2014.
The MOD continues to maintain effective security at its defence establishments in Scotland and, in particular, its nuclear bases in the Clyde and Coulport.

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice (1) what discussions he had with the Scottish Government before the decision to create a hardship fund for victims, following changes to the Criminal Injuries Compensation Scheme;
[134800]
Whether to create a Hardship Fund for victims injured in Scotland is a matter for the Scottish Government. I understand that Scottish Ministers decided not to do so.
Although separate from our shared interest in the Criminal Injuries Compensation Scheme, my officials held discussions with the Scottish Government regarding the implementation of the Hardship Fund.
(2) what steps he is taking to allow victims of violent crime in Scotland who would previously have been able to access the Criminal Injuries Compensation Scheme access to the Hardship Fund.

The principal lesson that I have learned is that Labour has learned nothing from its time in office and has nothing to suggest other than soundbites. Of course it is a serious problem that people in Scotland have insufficient income for food. I take it as a very serious problem,...

Thank you, Mr Betts. I am sorry. Will my hon. Friend confirm that he is saying that in this age—in 2012—there is a necessity for food banks? Is that not an abrogation of all Governments’ responsibilities?

Absolutely. I could not agree more. The only organisation or government I know of that is beginning to take a significant interest in this is Labour-controlled Fife council, for whose area I am MP.
In particular, I want to focus on the legitimate needs of the increasing number of constituents who...

I welcome my hon. Friend’s intervention, which stressed the situation I have been highlighting.
The Governments are strong on rhetoric, but short on action in dealing with the human tragedy that is seeping through our communities, where payday loan sharks capitalise on fuel, clothing and food poverty. We are told again...
