See No EVEL

That a particular law might apply directly in England alone, such as levying some or other charge here and nowhere else, would not make it "England-only". That suggestion would be beneath illiterate. And it frequently is.

The only such legislation is ecclesiastical, and not even very much of that. Anything to do with bishops affects the House of Lords. Anything to do with church repairs might have Barnett implications, depending on who was being required to foot the bill. Only the authorisation of forms of service for use in the Church of England would ever qualify.

Let the EVEL provision be enacted. Barring the DUP from voting against liberal, Romish or liberal-Romish liturgical innovations would constitute the sum total of its application. No other England-only legislation exists.
