		The farmers of Fife and the Lowlands, the artisans of the towns, the dwellers in the coast districts north of Tay, became, by the end of the thirteenth century, stout Northumbrian Englishmen.
		In Scotland, the victory of the English tongue (outside the Lothians) dates from a relatively advanced period of civilization, and it is a victory won, not by conquest or bloodshed, but by peaceful means.
		From the Lothians, the English influences must have spread slightly into Strathclyde; but the fact that the Celtic Kings of Scotland were strong enough to annex and rule the Lothians as part of a Celtic kingdom implies a limit to English colonization.

		In this context “the river” means the entire catchment area of the river and its tributaries.
		The unfortunate experience of the Border Esk being governed by a regime that is different from that covering any other river in Scotland is that, instead of respecting that difference, the Environment Agency has chosen to override local sensitivities and has dealt with the matter in an arrogant and crass fashion.
		My understanding is that the River Tweed Commission and other interested parties consulted on the order for more than four years and that it commands widespread support so I shall not oppose it, but I would appreciate it if the Minister could address the issues that I have raised.
