Unreal

The West Lothian question has been garnering more importance as the UK becomes ever more fragmented following devolution and at the same time more and more Scots fill the Labour cabinet. So a debate hosted by the Hansard Society entitled "Is the West Lothian Question unanswerable?" seems timely. The event will be held next February but the speakers are oddly chosen :

Sir Malcolm Rifkind MP - born in Edinburgh and educated at George Watson's College and Edinburgh University

Lord Falconer of Thoroton - Educated at the Edinburgh Academy, Trinity College, Glenalmond, and Queens' College, Cambridge

In the Chair - Sheena McDonald - born in Dunfermline, Fife; graduated from the University of Edinburgh in 1976


Could an English speaker not have been found? Just as in Westminster the question is put and answered by Scots.
