Good morning
Folks in far-flung places and those closer to home,
If you have family or friends or contacts who are eligible to vote in Scotland next week would you be kind enough to impress upon them the importance of the ?No? vote to maintain the Union.
At the Battle Of Britain dinner in the House last night the point was made that it was at this time of year that so many of our young airmen gave their lives in the defence of the United Kingdom. The break-up of the Union would have disastrous consequences not just for Scotland but for the whole future of what most of us have worked all our lives for and hold dear.
That, of course, will embrace not only domestic but overseas interests as well.
We are making considerable progress over the right of Britons resident overseas to vote (and if you are eligible but have not yet registered please do so) and there are even some glimmerings ? although I would not wish to overstate the case ? of light on the pensions uprating front. We shall be stronger together.
This is a crucial moment in our Island`s history and we really do need to muster all of the support available.
With very best wishes
Roger – (Sir Roger Gale MP)
