Thomas Docherty, Labour MP for Dunfermline and West Fife, gets his Unionist knickers in a twist:
Several Members on both sides of the Committee have referred to England, the English Parliament and Britain. Let me gently remind the House that our nation state is the United Kingdom, and it is much more pertinent, particularly when discussing the issue of sovereignty, to get its name right.
The culprits? John Redwood, had the temerity to mention the 'English Parliament' when referring to events in the 17thC, and Kevan Jones recalled that 'for a long time northern France was part of England'.
