Scottish Referendum Legislation: Supreme Court Decision

Marion Fellows Excerpts

Wednesday 23rd November 2022 Commons Chamber

[Mr Jack]

My hon. Friend makes a good point. On his initial remarks, we are a family of nations and a nation of families.

[Marion Fellows (Motherwell and Wishaw) (SNP)]

I am a bit puzzled. Why do this Government, who do not have a mandate in Scotland, continue to refuse the right of the Scottish people to hold a referendum, as things have changed enormously since 2014?

[Mr Jack]

Because this Government believe that the Scottish people’s priority is to see their two Governments working together in a collaborative and constructive partnership.
