2ND DECEMBER 2009

 

SPEAKER: IAIN GRAY, SCOTTISH LABOUR LEADER

 

A PEOPLE'S PARLIAMENT?

In this tenth anniversary year of the Scottish Parliament, the
constitutional debate is to the fore once again. Scottish Labour Leader
Iain Gray will reflect upon the first devolution decade in the very week
it is anticipated that the Scottish Government Referendum Bill and the
Westminster White Paper on the Calman proposals will be published. Iain
will ask to what extent the Parliament has lived up to its founding
vision of 'a People's Parliament, finding Scottish solutions to Scottish
problems' and consider what changes are required to live up to that
aspiration in the future.

WHEN: 2ND DECEMBER 2009 AT 11.00 A.M.

 

WHERE: ROBSON LECTURE THEATRE, HUGH ROBSON BUILDING, GEORGE SQUARE
