Scotland within the United Kingdom

My Lords, if we are taking it in turns, it is the turn of the Cross Benches which have not yet spoken on this matter.

I implore noble Lords to be mindful that this is a Statement and that contributions should be kept brief. We have a full day’s debate on this matter and wider devolution implications on 29 October.
