Proceeding contribution from Paul Flynn (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 2 July 2015. It occurred during Ministerial statement on English Votes on English Laws.


English Votes on English Laws

Why does the House of Lords remain unreformed—a model of democratic perfection, where it is still possible, with the connivance of all three main parties, to buy places—while we stagger and stumble with ad hoc steps, now EVEL, that will lead to the certain break-up of the United

Kingdom? Why do the Government not work with all parties and have a constitutional convention to work out a federal system that will be right for all four nations?
