If they wanted to be stubborn, the English MPs could prevent any of the WA's proposals. Highly unlikely to ever happen but it shows the fallacy in the idea that Welsh MPs have a say in England but English minister don't have input in to Wales.
Now you're digressing from the original point. The only way English MP's could force change on the WA would be for them to force a change in Government policy and the relevant law pertaining to the WA. Whilst numerically they could do that in theory by bringing down the government, as could the electorate on poling day, that is NOT the same thing as having the opportunity to VOTE on matters in those areas were the WA has been devolved decision making powers.
