Oral Answers to Questions

Angus Brendan MacNeil Excerpts

Tuesday 10th February 2015 Commons Chamber

[Mr Gyimah]

We want everyone in the country to have a say in who governs them, and we would encourage all people to vote, but it is the job of politicians to do so, not the Government.

[Mr Angus Brendan MacNeil (Na h-Eileanan an Iar) (SNP)]

On electoral turnout, does the Minister think he can learn from the Scottish referendum and that the non-delivery of the vow will increase turnout, as Scots vote for a strong SNP voice to counter the failure of the three parties, the three amigos, at Westminster?

[Mr Gyimah]

I know that the hon. Gentleman would like to rewrite history, but there was a decisive result in the Scottish referendum, and the vow has been delivered completely and faithfully.
