Proceeding contribution from Lord Grayling (Conservative) 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
Policing is a classic example of something that is not devolved. We do not have a separate Welsh policing system. Therefore it is right and proper that we should retain the involvement of Members of Parliament from England and Wales in voting on police matters. In Scotland and Northern Ireland, those matters are devolved. That is the key difference. The situation in London is straightforward: London does not have a devolved Assembly in the way in which Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland do. It does not legislate. This House
legislates for London. Therefore the decisions about new laws in London should be and will be a part of this package.
