Devolution and the Union

Proceeding contribution from Alan Reid (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 20 November 2014. It occurred during Backbench debate on Devolution and the Union.

Yes, it is all right. That is a point on which we agree, but it is about the only one.

Where I do agree with the movers of the motion is that the West Lothian question must be addressed. There is clearly an unfairness that I, as a Scottish MP, can vote on health, education and other matters as they affect England, but not in my own constituency. Clearly, that must be addressed. The only way to do that is to set up a federal system for the United Kingdom.
