BERWICK-UPON-TWEED AND SCOTLAND (No. 3)
Early day motion 996, tabled 21 February 2008 by Graham Stringer (Labour). Signed by 12 members.
That this House notes that the poll conducted by ITV's Tonight programme indicated that a majority of residents of Berwick-upon-Tweed wished to be part of Scotland; believes that this view is caused by the extra funding Scotland receives via the Barnett Formula, and that the continuation of this formula threatens the union between England and Scotland; and therefore calls for an urgent review of the formula.
Signatures by party: Labour 6, Conservative 5, DUP 1.
