Scotland Bill

Proceeding contribution from Baroness Laing of Elderslie (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 27 January 2011. It occurred during Debate on bills on Scotland Bill.
Does my hon. Friend accept the point made by my hon. Friend the Member for Milton Keynes South (Iain Stewart) that the Barnett formula works in the way it does not just because Scotland is Scotland, but because Scotland has certain features, such as areas of deprivation in its inner cities and very rural areas where transport costs are enormous, that mean that it deserves greater spending in certain areas? Such areas are also found in certain parts of England and Wales.
