Oral question asked in the House of Commons, by Jim Hood (Labour). It was answered on Wednesday, 14 September 2011 on behalf of the Scotland Office.


West Lothian Question

Question
May I invite the Secretary of State to ignore the little Englanders behind him and the little Scotlanders behind me, and tell us that we are going to allow Scottish MPs to discuss Scotland in a Scottish Grand Committee? Will he reconvene that Committee as soon as possible?
Answer

The hon. Gentleman frequently made that plea to the previous Government. We are, of course, keen to ensure that all Scottish matters continue to be debated in the appropriate way in this House, and we will ensure that.
