Today, we will hear what that answer is - but whether it could be called decisive is another matter entirely. For a start, the Prime Minister’s hopes of resolving this issue on a cross-party basis were scuppered when Labour declined to take part and the Lib Dems insisted upon other constitutional changes, such as proportional representation, that the Tories would not concede. But the Conservative position was less than clear. William Hague, the Leader of the Commons, set out three proposals for consideration. Option 1: all stages of laws relating only to England (or England and Wales) would be determined by English/Welsh MPs only; Option 2: only English/Welsh MPs to consider relevant bills during their committee and report stages, but all MPs to vote on the final bill; and Option 3: all MPs to vote on Second Reading but only English/Welsh MPs to consider relevant bills at committee stage and to have an effective veto in a separate “legislative consent” vote before Third Reading.
