Scotland within the UK

Proceeding contribution from Chris Bryant (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 13 October 2014. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Scotland within the UK.

I am absolutely certain that the events in Scotland will lead to further devolution in Wales and in England, but what analysis has the Secretary of State made of the proposals on English votes for English laws? Would it not be bizarre if Scottish MPs were barred from voting but Scottish peers were allowed to vote on exactly the same legislation? Such peers could include the ninth Earl of Arran, the 14th Earl of Stair, the 16th Earl of Lindsay and, for that matter, Lord Smith.
