Proceeding contribution from Chris Heaton-Harris (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
The Scottish National party Members here wisely and honourably make a vow of abstinence that they will not vote on what they perceive to be English matters. However, that was not the case with Scottish Labour Members of Parliament before the general election. On many occasions they voted on matters to do with education and health that affected my constituents and made my constituents, rightly, angry about how things were being dealt with in this House. I welcome the statement, although I do not think it goes far enough. I also welcome the review, but would like to be assured that it will take into account the views of all Members of this House, including English Members.
