The government presented its much anticipated plans to solve the West Lothian Question, or more simply, why Scottish MPs have long been able to vote on legislation only affecting England (or England and Wales) while English MPs are unable to
vote on measures devolved to Scotland.
The Prime Minister has said
measures to address the issue of MPs with seats in the
devolved nations being able to
vote on policies that do not apply in their constituencies must go «in tandem» with the process of granting fresh powers to Holyrood.
