The Lord Kingsland replies

Dear Mr Higginbottom

'Thank you very much indeed for your letter of 25th March 2007 raising, essentially, the West Lothian question.

Although no final decisions have been made in the Conservative Party about our approach to the inequities that are inherent in the existence of Scottish, Welsh and Northern Irish legislatures, I am reasonably confident that the solution the Party will adopt is likely to be in the form of an English Legislative Committee within the UK Parliament at Westminster. This Committee would take decisions for England on those matters that are devolved to Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland and would comprise Members solely from English constituencies.

With best wishes.
