Debate on the Address

Proceeding contribution from Lord Blencathra (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 6 November 2007. It occurred during Queen's speech debate on Debate on the Address.
The point is that the poll tax was applied to England. It started in Scotland one year early because Scotland had revaluation one year early, but it applied to the whole of England. We are discussing measures that apply to England and not to Scotland at all, because the Scottish Parliament has the power not to impose them. In this House, where we should all be equal, Scottish Members of Parliament are using their unequal privileges.
