Devolution (Scotland Referendum)

Proceeding contribution from John Denham (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 14 October 2014. It occurred during Debate on Devolution (Scotland Referendum).

I am grateful to the Leader of the House. A few moments ago he said that the way in which English votes on English laws is delivered would be the subject of a great deal of debate. Why is he not proposing to involve the people of England in a discussion about how England should be governed? Why is he saying that he has all the wisdom to force this through in a Cabinet discussion without any wider debate whatever? What is he scared of and why will he not listen to the people of England?
