Devolution and dipsticks

Seems we have another Westminster type with a fuzzy grasp on devolved powers. According to a recent post by Betsan Powys, Labour MP for Clwyd South Martyn Jones, has put out a press release calling for free prescriptions for people in his constituency(?)

This is the same self-possessed individual who put a series of questions on key differences between NHS policies in England and Wales to health minister Edwina Hart when she recently appeared before the Welsh Affairs Select Committee. It's a pity he didn't take notes.

An informant tells us that a junior whip on hearing about the mishap rolled his eyes and mumbled, “The twat probably thinks we still run India as well.”
