Scotland Bill

Proceeding contribution from Russell Brown (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 21 June 2011. It occurred during Debate on bills on Scotland Bill.
I want to put the record straight for my right hon. Friend and his constituents. He talks about free prescriptions in Scotland, which we now have, but I hasten to remind him that there was a period of two to three years when people south of the border with cancer-related problems got their medication free, while people in Scotland were paying for their prescriptions. This is about priorities. The Labour Government rightly made that decision, and it was just a shame that the Scottish Government did not follow suit at the time.
