English Votes for English Laws Mr Andrew Turner (Isle of Wight) (Con) 10. What discussions he has had with his ministerial colleagues on the potential implications for Scotland of English votes for English laws. The Secretary of State for Scotland (Mr Alistair Carmichael) There is clear consensus that change is needed to address the anomalies in our constitutional arrangements, but no consensus on what form this change should take. The solution must be fair to all parts of the United Kingdom and strengthen the links between our family of nations so recently reaffirmed in the referendum in Scotland. Mr Turner I thank the Minister for that reply. Does he agree that most Scots, unlike Labour Members, recognise the unfairness of their MPs at Westminster intervening to affect English schools, English health and English councils now that those matters have been devolved from England to Scotland? Mr Carmichael I think I have already acknowledged that there are substantial anomalies within our constitutional arrangements. I caution the hon. Gentleman, however, about being too enthusiastic about replacing these anomalies with ones that could be even bigger.
