Page "West Lothian question" Paragraph 16

It has been suggested that Scottish MPs should be barred from voting on matters that do not affect Scotland.

In July 1999, the then-Conservative leader William Hague said that " English MPs should have exclusive say over English laws ... People will become increasingly resentful that decisions are being made in England by people from other parts of the UK on matters that English people did not have a say on elsewhere ...

I think it is a dangerous thing to allow resentment to build up in a country.

We have got to make the rules fair now.
