PM Holds Scottish MPs Power Summit
Senior Conservative MPs are to meet with David Cameron to discuss limiting the Commons voting rights of Scottish MPs.
The summit is being held at Chequers, with the Prime Minister saying that plans to give Scotland more powers should go "hand-in-hand" with a change to the role of Scottish politicians at Westminster.
It follows a pledge by all three main parties for more devolution, which was hoped would encourage people in Scotland to say no to independence in the recent referendum.
