Devolution in England

John Bercow Excerpts

Monday 2nd March 2015 Commons Chamber

[Robert Neill]

First, I assure—[Interruption.]

[Mr Speaker]

Order. We are not having an identity parade, but I think the hon. Gentleman has the right hon. Member for Wokingham (Mr Redwood) in mind.

[Mr Redwood]

I am grateful to the Chairman of the Select Committee. When the members of his Committee looked at the big devolution of powers, including that of income tax to Scotland, did they ask themselves how England would settle such issues? Is there not a need for income tax to be settled at England level, just as there is not power in Scotland?
