§ 39. Mr. Stanbrookasked the Lord President of the Council on what grounds it is proposed that the arrangement whereby, according to their respective populations, England is represented in Parliament by proportionately fewer Members than are Scotland and Wales, should continue after devolution to assemblies in Scotland and Wales.
§ Mr. Gerry FowlerIt will remain necessary after devolution for Scotland and Wales to be represented in Parliament at their present level so that they can continue to play their full part in determining United Kingdom policies, and particularly in the distribution of resources between the different parts of the United Kingdom.
