Devolution (Scotland Referendum)

Proceeding contribution from Gregg McClymont (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 14 October 2014. It occurred during Debate on Devolution (Scotland Referendum).

It is several hours since the right hon. Member for Berwickshire, Roxburgh and

Selkirk (Michael Moore) made his contribution, as an appointee to the Smith commission. As the other Member sitting on the Smith commission, I shall try, in much less time, to make some observations about this process.

As we have heard, some are already attempting to rewrite the history of the referendum. The First Minister said the referendum would decide the issue for a generation, but we now see more clearly by the day that in his mind, and the mind of his colleagues, a generation is not a long time.
