12 August 2005 Extending craft licensing on the Caledonian CanalFound in a House of Commons debate about the waterways, May 1993: Sir Russell Johnston (Inverness, Nairn and Lochaber) : In this debate, I speak as a constituency Member and not as a party representative. My involvement in the issue arises from being the Member of Parliament for the Caledonian canal, which connects the lochs forming the basic part of the Great Glen which gashes across Scotland. The major loch, Loch Ness, contains my well-known constituent, the monster. I hope that there are no suggestions that the monster should be in any way licensed because that would be resisted, not least by the gentleman himself. Ms Short : Is the hon. Gentleman sure that it is not a she? Sir Russell Johnston : Although the monster has been seen, it has never been heard, and therefore it cannot be female. I say that with due deference to you, Madam Deputy Speaker. CommentsMagnificent! Claire Short rises in my estimation. Posted by The Mortal Wombat on 13.8.05 10:09 | |
