Meeting of the Parliament 18 June 2014
I criticise them for the lack of honesty about the benefits of the United Kingdom—the £1,400 dividend that we get from staying part of the UK. Let us have no more scaremongering about the UK. Let us talk about the upside—the benefits of staying together.
I move amendment S4M-10353.1, to insert at end:
“; believes that every person in Scotland will be £1,400 better off each year by staying part of the UK; notes with concern the continued discrepancies between the estimates of the Scottish Government and those of a range of institutions including the Institute for Fiscal Studies and of experts including Professor Hughes-Hallet on oil revenue forecasts; further notes the refusal of the Scottish Government to provide any evidence of work carried out on the cost of setting up the systems and institutions required for independence, and believes that the Scottish Government should publish full set-up costs without further delay so that people have all of the information they require to make an informed decision on 18 September 2014”.
