Abstract
Abstract The consequences of devolution for England are considered, and the parliamentary devices that mitigate the lack of English representation examined. England was not included in the 1998 devolution settlement, and, since 1998, various attempts have been made to bring some of the constitutional autonomy experienced by the other regions of the UK to the English. However, the enthusiasm for devolution in England has remained muted. The asymmetries of the devolution settlement create problems of democratic representation – the ‘West Lothain Question’ – caused by England’s governance by the UK Parliament. The chapter considers the implications and possible answers to this challenge. The chapter concludes by examining the role of subsidiarity beyond the devolution settlement.
