Some eminent historians have already participated in this debate, so I will go for some other quotations. Groucho Marx said, ““Here are my principles, but if you don't like them, I have another set here.”” In the light of the contribution made by my hon. Friend the Member for Rhondda (Chris Bryant), may I ask the hon. Member for Caithness, Sutherland and Easter Ross (John Thurso) how he can reconcile the exceptions for the Western Isles, Northern Isles and other areas when the Government are sticking rigidly to an arithmetical formula in this legislation?
