PRIME Minister David Cameron ran into a storm of protest from other parties yesterday after he revealed a plan to put “English votes for English laws” in place within the first 100 days of a Conservative government.

Mr Cameron pledged an “English rate of income tax” in the first Budget of a Conservative government — although it could apply in Wales and Northern Ireland — once more powers are devolved to Scotland.

Scotland’s First Minister Nicola Sturgeon slammed the announcement as “a direct breach of the Smith Commission proposals.”
