We have agreed to establish a commission to consider the West Lothian QuestionThis could of course be no more than a means of kicking the issue into that bit of St James's Park where they can't quite get the mower - but it's certainly good to see it at least on the new government's agenda.

Hi Paul
I for one have mentioned it yesterday on my blog:

Thanks Dave, and I agree with what you have written.
My fear is that, with so many Lib Dem MPs representing Scottish constituencies, the coalition has agreed to do nothing, but, in order to save Conservative face, has set up the commission. What can we do to ensure that this commission has the right kind of representation? I fear we may need to help get something moving here.

I always wonder why the WLQ gets so much attention when the Ulster MPs a few decades back were virtually part of the Tory party, yet nobody worried about the fact they could legislate on British matters while we could not on Ulster domestic mstters. Our constitution is quite good at ignoring things that don't really matter that much.
