The full import of 1707 not yet apparent to Robert Key
Robert Key MP, speaking to the Parliament of the United Kingdom:

Its remit was to act on behalf of the Westminster Parliament, not instead of. However, the Instead Of seems to be taking precedence, without the responsibilities and consequences.

I'm sure it's a matter of sovereignty that makes many people worried about the "parliament within a parliament" model.
Westminster is the sovereign parliament, and if you create within it an English parliament, then it itself a sovereign parliament, and English MPs may begin to think that way.
