Proceeding contribution from Lord Wills (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 18 June 2008. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Parliamentary Representation (England).
Parliamentary Representation (England)
I shall give way to both hon. Members in a moment. If we take further the proposal for an English Grand Committee to consider English legislation, we will be led down a slippery slope towards an English Parliament, which is an issue that I want to address, and the hon. Member for Isle of Wight has raised some concerns that I will also address shortly. For the reasons that I have given, however, I believe that such a policy would ultimately lead to the break-up of the United Kingdom.
