Proceeding contribution from Philip Hollobone (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 18 June 2008. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Parliamentary Representation (England).
Parliamentary Representation (England)
I am grateful to my hon. Friend for giving way. Is not the problem worse than he describes? A Scottish Westminster MP can vote in this place on hospital provision for my hon. Friend's constituents on the Isle of Wight, but not on hospital provision in his or her constituency in Scotland because it is a devolved matter for the Scottish Parliament. Scottish Westminster MPs can interfere in English affairs, but are not able to interfere in many matters in their own constituencies.
