My Lords, I shall intervene standing up. That is an absurd proposition. The noble Lord has been here long enough to know that matters that are not devolved to the Scottish Parliament and the Welsh Assembly are central to the United Kingdom Parliament. Those are defence, foreign affairs, war and peace. A Prime Minister from Scotland could certainly be Prime Minister of the United Kingdom and deal with such matters.
