The Government has backpedaled on a promised redraft of the controversial English votes for English laws (Evel) as it announced to postpone a Commons vote until at least September. The decision is perhaps made to circumvent an embarrassing defeat on a manifesto pledge as Tory unease combined with a coordinated effort by Labour and SNP MPs to object to the plans.
In a weekly business statement, Commons leader Chris Grayling revealed that the MPs will have two days of debate on a new draft of the rule changes. He revealed that the draft will be published on Monday and the first day of debate will take place on Wednesday. However, the second day of the debate was not announced but since all days of Commons time before the summer recess have been filled, it will most likely be held after the House returns from the break.
In the official statement, Mr. Grayling alleged that “on Wednesday July 15 … a debate on English votes for English laws – the first of a two-day debate on that subject.” He stated that “if I may briefly explain to the House – on Monday I will, having listened to comments from MPs, publish a modified set of draft standing orders on Evel.” Grayling pointed out that “we will debate those on Wednesday. Subsequent to that debate, I will table a final set of standing orders which we will debate at an early opportunity once the House returns.”
