Proceeding contribution from Lord Howard of Lympne (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 3 July 2007. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Constitutional Reform.

Constitutional Reform

I welcome many of the proposals that the Prime Minister has put forward, but in rejecting the case for English votes for English laws, he said that he did not want to create two classes of Members of the House. Is it not a fact, as pointed out by my right hon. Friend the Leader of the Opposition, that we already have two classes of Members of the House—those who are able to vote on all measures affecting their constituents, and those who, on many measures, are able to vote only on measures affecting the constituents of others?
