williemillersmoustache Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 Can anyone explain what is different about the "Scottish style"? Scotland's new SNP MPs are swearing allegiance to the Queen during the traditional oath taking ceremony at the House of Commons. There are 50 new nationalist members at Westminster, joining six SNP MPs who were re-elected from the 2010 intake. The MPs have been taking their oaths in the Scottish style, which involves holding the right hand in the air. Each was required to read the passage in English, but a number also performed it in Gaelic and Scots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this the same for Welsh MPs who would wish to do it in Welsh? Or Irish MPs in Irish? Need to re-run it in English? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
