Early Day Motion 359

A NEW CONSTITUTIONAL SETTLEMENT
Session: 2014-15
Date tabled: 15.10.2014
Primary sponsor: Godsiff, Roger
Sponsors:
That this House notes the result of the independence referendum in Scotland; acknowledges that the leaders of all major Westminster parties have committed to transferring more legislative powers to the Scottish Parliament and believes that the same powers should be transferred to the Welsh and Northern Ireland Assemblies; and recognises that when this occurs there will be a justifiable argument for having an English Parliament with similar powers and that the UK Westminster Parliament will then require radical changes in its size and residual responsibilities to reflect these devolved changes.
