Answer from Hansard

The Prime Minister

I, too, wish Scotland well in the upcoming match, and of course I wish England well in the third match—a little better than last night, hopefully. The SNP and the Scottish Government need to answer a serious set of questions, and they simply refuse to do so. They call for transparency and accountability from everyone else when they have giant questions of their own to answer. “Nothing to see here, don’t want to know, don’t want to have an inquiry”—totally the wrong approach.
