Berwick-Upon-tweed And Scotland (No. 2)
EDM number 952 in 2007-08, proposed by Alan Beith on 18/02/2008.
Categorised under the topics of Devolution and Scottish Parliament.
That this House notes that the so-called poll conducted by ITV's Tonight programme was conducted by asking a limited number of people in the street whether they thought Berwick would be better off in Scotland; further notes that the SNP Government in Scotland has issued a statement that it is not making any territorial claims on England, and draws this statement to the attention of the hon. Member for Perth and North Perthshire; and recognises that the ITV programme identified the genuine concern that Berwick and other parts of England do not enjoy the free personal care for the elderly and free student tuition secured by Liberal Democrats when they were part of the coalition government in Scotland, and do not enjoy the higher spending levels on schools, highways and other public services financed under the Barnett formula.
This motion has been signed by a total of 10 MPs.
