Question to the Cabinet Office:

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, if he plans to review the operation of the English Votes for English Laws Standing Orders.

The Government undertook a technical review of the Standing Orders relating to English Votes for English Laws in October 2016. A report was subsequently published on 30 March 2017 in which the Government concluded that the procedures introduced by English Votes have shown to be working well and do not require substantive change at this time. However, Parliament and the Government will continue to work together in monitoring the operation of the procedures.

A copy of the report can be found at the below address:
