Labour not to work on West Lothian question

It seems they have just realised, seems a little slow.

I am not so sure, Lib Dems seem to want to be involved, only Labour calling "a stitch up" as they will lose influence in England as a result.

Also the electorate seem to want the issue resolved if the comments on the BBC site are anything to go by.

So in other words MP's would need to vote not along party lines but more as their constituents want or the system would end up in a stalemate.

Sounds like democracy to me.

Progress?

The options in the command paper presented by Mr Hague are expected to propose options :

- Barring Scottish MPs from any role in English and Welsh bills
- Allowing English MPs to have a greater say over the early readings of bills before allowing all MPs to vote on the final stages
- Giving English MPs a veto over certain legislation
- A separate Lib Dem plan to establish a grand committee of English MPs to scrutinise legislation

Does this go far enough?
