"He was opposed to Scottish devolution and first stated the famous "West Lothian question?", although the name was given by Enoch Powell."- can this sentence be explained a little more clearly, I'm not sure what it is all about... quercus robur
- The West Lothian Question is this: if Scottish devolution removes the power of (mainly English) Westminster MPs over home afairs in Scotland, but leaves Scottish MPs at Westminster with power over English (etc.) home affairs, should the number of Scottish MPs be reduced (thus reducing Scotland's influence in foreign affairs), or should Scottish MPs have their right to vote on English (etc.) matters removed (thus making them second-class MPs in some respect)? This is a difficult question for devolutionists, especially in the Labour Party which might find itself relying on Scottish MPs for its majority at Westminster. --rbrwr
[edit] Pronunciation of surname
I could never have guessed that his surname is pronounced that way. Will someone add International Phonetic Alphabet or at least SAMPA? --Kaihsu Tai 15:49, 2004 Jan 22 (UTC)
Also, there seems to be more to the Dalyell name (and the Binns): [1] --Kaihsu Tai 18:16, 2004 Jan 22 (UTC)
"He was opposed to Scottish devolution and first stated the famous "West Lothian question"... In this he was wildly out of touch with the people of Scotland." Rather a subjective comment in my humble opinion. The devolution referendum of 1979 did have a majority of those voting in favour but they were only about 1/3 of the total electorate (and thus did not meet the 40% support rule). Was he so out of touch? Timrollpickering, 14 Feb 2004 (UTC)
[edit] Knighthood?
What is the basis for listing him as "Sir Tam Dalyell"? I have never heard of him having received a knighthood nor him being addressed in written or spoke form as "Sir Tam". He has always been Mr Dalyell as far as I know. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 82.41.213.37 (talk • contribs) 02:12, 12 August 2005 (UTC)
