	Devolved English parliament - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A devolved English Parliament, giving separate decision-making powers to representatives for voters in England similar to the representation given by the Welsh Assembly, Scottish Parliament and the Northern Ireland Assembly, is currently an issue in British politics.
		The first English Parliament arose during the thirteenth century, comprising members of the nobility and clergy, and representatives from shires and boroughs.
		The English Parliament was dissolved (and the Parliament of Scotland with it) by Treaty of Union in 1707, and replaced with the Parliament of Great Britain.

		In 1431 parliament granted a tax to James I for a campaign in the highlands on the condition that it be kept in a locked chest under the keepership of figures deeply out of favour with the king.
		Parliament was reconstituted as a body which deals with matters which have been devolved to it by the UK Parliament.
		At the first meeting of the Parliament, held three years later, Winnie Ewing, sitting by virtue of being the oldest MSP at the time (May 1999) declared that the Scottish Parliament, which had been adjourned in 1707, was now in session, thus explicitly proclaiming a connection with the previous body.

	ENGLISH PARLIAMENT (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		Thus once an English parliament was in being, it would in practice have a great deal of power regardless of the initial theoretical limits of its authority.
		An English Secretary with similar powers would be an absurdity, because he or she would exercise more power than the prime minister for most of UK government expenditure and patronage would be under his control.
		Suppose that English majorities committed to an English parliament were elected to Westminster, yet were never able to form a government because an English minority allied to the Celts formed a Commons majority.

		The English Constitutional Convention (ECC) is a growing coalition of political and non-political organisations who believe that the people of England have a democratic right to participate in, and decide upon, the form of devolution that best suits the needs, sensibilities and majority will of the people living within England.
		It is clear that, if the political system is to retain credibility with the people of England, then the voice of her people must be heard and a proper democratic debate around England's future and her nationhood be properly constituted and supported by all those who seek to govern in her name.
		The purpose of the English Constitution Convention is to promote the debating and the making of proposals for a consequentially appropriate, just and fair, constitutional settlement for all the people of England, and which protect their principles of justice and liberty.

	Talk:Devolved English parliament - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		It might be interesting to have a look at the list of UK general election results over the last few decades and figure out what the results would have been had Scotland/Ireland/Wales not counted.
		Actually, I'm not involved in any of the groups, and think that an English parliament would be a very, very, very worthless project.
		I remember studying this area briefly while at university, specifically looking at Joseph Chamberlain and I believe there is some scope for examing his early political career and his proposals around Home Rule for the regions.

	Campaign for an English Parliament - Shropshire
		An English woman is denied the drug because there isn't enough money left in England to pay for it after the rest of the UK have taken what they want.
		The Scottish Parliament and Welsh Assembly use English taxes to pay for life saving drugs for their own country whilst the British government, ruled by the Scottish Raj, deny English people life saving treatment because there is no money left once our "partners" have taken what they want.
		His concern that an English Parliament would create an extra layer of bureaucracy and tax burden on the English is a very common argument against an English Parliament.

		Under the Act, parliament has no power to amend the Draft, which is to be handed over to Attorney General Amos Wako upon the conclusion of review talks at Bomas.
		As it stands, the Act empowers parliament to either accept the Draft as it is or reject it in toto.

		Gobineau, I'm Scottish, but I agree that the Scottish Parliament was an absolute outrage and it's a hideous mess.The plonkers that let it go ahead and run up the costs that it entailed should have their backsides kicked.
		Whilst the Welsh have a 'Welsh parliament', the Scots have a 'Scottish parliament', the Northern Irish have 'Stormont' (temporarily suspended); the English are discriminated against and are not allowed to have an 'English parliament'.
		Either the Scots should use their own 'Scottish Parliament' and not be over-represented in the House of Commons, or the people of England by way of fairness ought to have a devolved English Parliament ?.

		To fulfill that remit, and to represent their interests in those devolved policy areas, they elect a representative to the Scottish Parliament, and it is that MSP rather than Gordon Brown that has their mandate on devolved areas.
		Supporters of an English parliament should oppose Brown’s succession and send out a clear message to the Labour Party that under the current constitutional arrangement a Scottish Prime Minister is an untenable proposition.
		English MPs should not only hang their heads in shame, but if they had any morals, tbey'd be handing in their resignations and hiding under a rock for the rest of their miserable, cowardly lives.

		Frank Field and Kate Hoey put forward the idea of an England-only Parliament yesterday, saying MPs should be allowed to hold specialist committees "thereby making government offices, quangos and other bodies to which the government has devolved power accountable to the Commons".
		Select committees already exist to oversee the work of Government departments, such as transport, environment and foreign affairs, many producing critical reports on the spending of taxpayers' money.
