Mundell votes on English law


Mr Bairn

No, he didn't this is nonsense.

As part of the new regime, the Speaker designated certain parts of the bill as English-only matters. The Commons then resolved to bring the English Grand Committee into session for the discussion of those parts of the bill, a consent motion was put and agreed to by English MPs.

The Bill then proceeded to its third reading, which deals with the bill as a whole and which involves the whole Commons. David Mundell was one of those who voted in favour of the bill as a whole at Third Reading.

Strictly speaking, the thread title is accurate. He did vote on it - at the conventional stages.

He didn't, however, vote during the English (and Welsh) grand committees. Not least because these consent motions both passed without a Division, so there's no record of who actually vote "Aye".

The bill as a whole isn't an "English law". It's a UK one. Debated by the UK Parliament. So the thread title is inaccurate.
