Scotland Bill

Proceeding contribution from Lord McAvoy (Labour) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 8 December 2015. It occurred during Committee of the Whole House (HL) and Debate on bills on Scotland Bill.

The noble Lord is trying to paint a picture of government intransigence. As the Government’s Official Opposition, as distinct from the unofficial opposition, I suggest that one cannot complain when

changes are made in the other place thanks to debate, and the Government see the worthiness of that and accept it, and then complain because they do not accept the noble Lord’s amendment. I think he is painting a totally unfair picture of the Government.
