The Prime Minister
I very much agree with the right hon. Gentleman. This is an area where we have got more out of Europe than we have put in, and we will clearly want to safeguard that for the future.
Patricia Gibson (North Ayrshire and Arran) (SNP)
Does the Prime Minister agree that if 55% of people in Scotland voting against independence was enough to keep Scotland in the Union, 63% voting to remain a member of the EU should be enough to keep Scotland in the European Union?
The Prime Minister
One could make the converse point, which is that if Scotland had voted to leave the United Kingdom, it would have left the European Union already.
