Courtney Williams mentioned an interesting political anomaly (Letters, January 9).
I agree wholeheartedly it is wrong for non-English MPs at Westminster to vote on solely English domestic issues while English MPs can't vote on issues before the Scottish or Welsh assemblies.
I also agree an English parliament would be a waste of time and money.
The only answer is to allow the English MPs at Westminster to vote on issues which are relevant to England.
Sadly, this would be unlikely under a Labour administration because it fears a Conservative-dominated England. (The Tories achieved the biggest share of the English vote in 2005 but a minority of seats.)
Hopefully, amending this anomaly is something David Cameron will put forward in the next Conservative manifesto.
