HC Deb 15 October 1976 vol 917 c211W
Mr. Cope

asked the Lord President of the Council whether he will make a statement amplifying the way matters in respect of England are to be decided which for Scotland he proposes should be totally devolved to the Assembly, in view of paragraph 13 of the August 1976 White Paper, Command Paper No. 6585.

Mr. Foot

The Government hope to publish a consultative document on devolution and England shortly.

Mr. Cope

asked the Lord President of the Council whether he will propose in the Devolution Bill that Scottish hon. Members will not be able to vote on those matters for England which English hon. Members will not be able to vote on for Scotland.

Mr. Foot

I must ask the hon. Gentleman to await the publication of the Bill.
