SCOTTISH INDEPENDENCE

Early day motion 1071, tabled 11 February 2014 by Tim Farron (Liberal Democrat). Signed by 10 members.

That this House celebrates the close and deep connections between the north of England and Scotland; notes the shared values of community, decency and fairness; believes that people throughout Northern Ireland, Wales and England will be heartbroken if Scotland were to choose to leave the United Kingdom and that this sense of deep sadness would be felt especially strongly across the north of England; and commits itself to fully respecting the will of the Scottish people in the coming referendum, but wishes to record its strong desire that Scotland remains a central and vital part of the United Kingdom.

Signatures by party: Liberal Democrat 5, DUP 2, Labour 2, Conservative 1.
