Letter to Shropshire MPs re Government of Wales Bill

Government of Wales Bill

The GWB is currently before Parliament and the intention is to transfer law making powers to the Welsh National Assembly.

This is another blatant action by the anti-English Labour Government to hand out special privileges to the periphery countries of the United Kingdom. No doubt the Government will use its Scottish MPs, if necessary, to force the legislation into law.

It proposes another referendum in Wales on the question of devolution but there is yet to be any such consultation with the oppressed English peoples.

The GWB will make it even more glaringly obvious just how unfair the devolution system is to England. This is an intolerable situation, for the people of England are clearly only third class citizens within the dis-United Kingdom.

.

When the GWB becomes law, it will leave the UK Parliament with little other than to govern England. Downsizing of the UK Parliament and/or a reduction in the remuneration to MPs would therefore seem appropriate.

As the elected representative of an English constituency I hope that you, and your colleagues, will take this opportunity to ensure equanimity of treatment for England in line with that handed out to the Celtic fringes.


Yours sincerely,

Edward Higginbottom
Co-ordinator, Shropshire Branch of the Campaign for an English Parliament
