In order to complete the process, I am suggesting that Scottish MPs should be excluded from the chamber when votes on England/Wales issues are held. In this way, the same institution that was once the English Parliament can once more function as the English Parliament when necessary, without the waste of time and money that would be required to build a new institution.
