Proceeding contribution from Lord Hanson of Flint (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

Will the Leader of the House ponder for a moment on the fact that had his proposals been in place over the past hundred years, Alec Douglas-Home, Andrew Bonar Law, James Callaghan, Lloyd George and Gordon Brown would not have been able to vote on their own Governments’ proposals in this House of Commons? Does that not strike him as incongruous, coming as it does from a Conservative and Unionist party?
