Scotland Bill — The Scottish Parliament — 28 Jan 1998
Mr Richard Allan MP, Sheffield, Hallam voted with the majority (No).
Considered in Committee .
I beg to move amendment No. 2, in page 1, line 8, at end insert--
'(1A) Notwithstanding the establishment of the Parliament, or anything contained in this Act, the supreme authority of the Parliament of the United Kingdom shall remain unaffected and undiminished over all persons, matters and things in Scotland.'.
Does the hon. and learned Gentleman disclaim that authority, which is a Scottish authority?
That is an appalling amendment to put to the people who live in Scotland. I cannot understand it. Where were the Tories on 11 September? The position in the amendment was basically the position of the Tory party in the no, no campaign for the referendum. The Tories were hammered. They were wiped out by the Scottish people. That position was rejected on 11 September. To come back to Parliament several months later and put the same position again seems suicidal on the part of the official Opposition.
Question put, That the amendment be made:--
The Committee divided: Ayes 127, Noes 341.
