House of Commons (Participation) Bill

What is sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander. Has the right hon. Gentleman read ““The Politics of Nationalism and Devolution”” by the Chancellor of the Exchequer, in which he says:"““Most of all, a revised Scotland Act could embody some form of the ‘in and out’ principle. Under such a principle the remaining Scottish MPs at Westminster would not be allowed to take part in the proceedings of the House when it was debating English or Welsh domestic matters. The ‘in and out’ principle ought to be attractive to Conservatives””" but"““Labour remains committed to devolution and may be expected to consider a plan along these lines””."
