Hannah Bardell (Livingston) (SNP)
Does the hon. Lady not agree that to refer to this as ad hoc is really quite disingenuous? In Scotland, we saw a generation of people engaged, and I think that any 16 or 17-year-old watching this debate would hear lots of technical points, but would she not consider it to be a regressive step to have given the young people of Scotland the opportunity to engage in their nation’s future—we on the SNP Benches heard from many young people south of the border who were just as engaged—and then make them feel that they are losing out on a major opportunity?
The Temporary Chair (Mr George Howarth)
Order. The conjunction “and” is rather like “secondly” and “thirdly”, and two “ands” is at least one too many.
