Conservative — West Aberdeenshire and Kincardine

Speaking in the House of Commons on 4 March 2025

Debate

Church of Scotland (Lord High Commissioner) Bill

Contribution

I would like to record the thanks of the Opposition to those who have made possible this Bill, which will hopefully soon become an Act, and to Members from across the House for their contributions. I am grateful for the engagement with the Church of Scotland, the Catholic Church and Lady Elish herself. I think we can all agree that the Bill is a positive step and speaks well to the type of country that Scotland is today, which was certainly not the case 100 years ago. I express yet again my best wishes to the new Lord High Commissioner to the General Assembly, and to all those attending its deliberations in its upcoming meeting in May. Question put and agreed to. Bill accordingly read the Third time and passed.
