Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between Alister Jack and Simon Jupp

Wednesday 11th November 2020 Commons Chamber

[Simon Jupp]

I represent a constituency that is geographically distant from Scotland, but I know people from Scotland who have made East Devon their home. They, like me, believe we are stronger together and cherish our precious Union. Does my right hon. Friend agree that the UK Government’s efforts during the pandemic—not least the furlough scheme and the £8.2 billion to Scottish public services—show that we have a common drive to defeat the virus, whether in Edinburgh or Exeter, and the SNP needs to focus on delivery, not division?

[Mr Jack]

In the interests of brevity, as it was a very full question, I will say: absolutely, yes.
