Proceeding contribution from Andrew Turner (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 18 June 2008. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Parliamentary Representation (England).
Parliamentary Representation (England)
My hon. Friend is absolutely correct. What is wrong is not that the Scottish here are unable to vote on Scottish matters, but that the Scottish here are voting on what is happening on the Isle of Wight and on other English matters. The wheels of political evolution will not stop turning. Public concern is increasing and the question of an English Parliament continues to climb further up the agenda. What are we going to do when it reaches the top?
