With respect to the noble and learned Lord, Lord McCluskey, I do not accept that proposition. It would be for the court to say that
Parliament decides whether it is normal to legislate for Scotland in a devolved matter. It is not for us to interrogate that decision by Parliament. “Normally” means just that—no more, no less. It is not for the courts to say, “We don’t think the situation was abnormal”. That is a political decision.
