Question to the Leader of the House:

To ask the Leader of the House, if she will introduce proposals to rescind standing orders relating to English votes for English laws; and if she will make a statement.

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:
