WESTMINSTER will examine a proposed ban on Scots MPs voting on England-only matters at a committee hearing next week.
On Tuesday, the justice committee begins hearings on the aftermath of the devolution settlement, amid calls for Scots MPs to be barred from voting on measures which only affect England, such as in education and health.

The debate on why Scots MPs can vote on matters that affect only England, while English MPs cannot vote on devolved matters, has intensified in recent weeks.
A restriction on Scots MPs' voting rights would disqualify not just Gordon Brown, the Prime Minister, but his Chancellor, Alistair Darling, and Des Browne, the Defence Secretary, from voting on key policies.
Of course any recommendations it makes will not be Tory ideas for Gordon to borrow.
