Meeting William Hague MP today to discuss English votes for English Issues

William is leading the Conservative Party on this issue and taking the views of MPs all across the country. As an MP with a constituency that Borders Scotland I have made the point in previous meetings, and in the Commons, that people in Northumberland are particularly affected.
How we achieve fairness is the key.
My meeting is 9.30. I am hopeful that we will address the issue of Scottish MPs voting on English matters - which are devolved in Scotland- before the election, hence why MPs are meeting now post the Scottish referendum to address the question.
For a full understanding of why this problem matters, and affects us all read here:
