From the Irish World of 30 January 2004:
IT’S NOT every day the Conservative Party is accused of undermining the United Kingdom. That is what happened last week, however, in the run-up to this week’s decisive vote on university tuition fees at Westminster.
The Tories last week demanded that Scottish Labour MPs stay out of the vote on tuition fees, because they will only apply to universities in England and Wales. In reply, the leader of the House of Commons, Peter Hain, accused them of ‘English nationalism’ that ‘risks undermining the unity of Britain.’
