Scotland Bill

Proceeding contribution from Gemma Doyle (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 27 January 2011. It occurred during Debate on bills on Scotland Bill.
At the moment, I am afraid that I am not too keen on either, but we must work in both Parliaments. People in my constituency do not share the SNP's obsession with the constitution, which is another reason why Scots do not listen to the SNP anymore. Who can blame them, given its record in government? Before the Scottish election in 2007, the SNP promised the earth to the people of Scotland, but it has broken promise after promise. It broke promises on schools and promises to scrap the council tax. Its promise to write off student debt and many others were also broken. People are furious that the SNP Government are doing the Tories' job for them in Scotland. They are repeating the mistakes of the Thatcher years by cutting key economic budgets, and by cutting teachers and NHS staff by thousands.
