Motion: This House beliefs That Great Britain Will be better off Without Scotland
Location: Ye Old Cock Tavern, Fleet Street, EC4Y IAA
Time: 7:30
Date: Thursday the 2nd of February



Last week Scottish First Minister, Alex Salmond, announced the question he plans to ask his people within the next 2 years, the answer to which could spell the end of the 300 year union between England and Scotland.

A war of words has since broken out between the pro and anti independence camps with the latest dispute being over when the referendum should be called. However, as voters north of the border contemplate whether their lives will be better if Scotland leaves the United Kingdom, voters in the south will be asking themselves what's in it for them if they stay.

Does Scotland take its membership of the UK and all the benefits it affords to them for granted? Does the referendum provide an opportunity for the rest of Britain to negotiate a better deal with Scotland even if they opt to remain within the Union? Or is our relationship with Scotland vital to our well-being and our survival of the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression?

You decide.
