BERWICK-UPON-TWEED AND SCOTLAND (No. 3)

Tabled by Graham Stringer (Labour) 12 signatures

The motion

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.
