Spirit of Harry Lauder

Some rarely-seen but highly entertaining Caledonian wit was on display at Scottish Questions today:

David Mundell (Dumfriesshire, Clydesdale and Tweeddale) (Con): May I be the first to congratulate the Secretary of State on being named best Scot at Westminster? I am sure the Prime Minister is delighted.

Mr. Murphy: I thank the hon. Gentleman for his best wishes on my award. It was a very long shortlist, but I noticed he was not on it.
