Commission to address 'West Lothian Question' - Financial Times

Ministers are to ask a commission of independent experts to address one of the toughest questions thrown up by devolution: should Scottish, Northern Irish and Welsh MPs be allowed to vote on legislation that affects only England?

The so-called "West Lothian Question" – named after the constituency of Tam Dalyell, the former Labour MP who first raised the issue – has led to growing calls for "English votes for English laws", since Scotland and Wales were granted devolution in the late 1990s.
