Parliamentary Voting System and Constituencies Bill

Proceeding contribution from Iain Stewart (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 12 October 2010. It occurred during Debate on bills and Committee of the Whole House (HC) on Parliamentary Voting System and Constituencies Bill.
If I recall the provisions of the Scotland Act 1998 correctly, the Scottish Parliament has the ability to vary the date of its election. If there is concern about having the polls on the same day, surely it could move the election a few weeks either side.
