Powerful?

The Telegraph gets carried away (here):
"Growing anger in England over the power that Scottish MPs wield at Westminster could destroy the 1998 devolution settlement, a powerful Commons committee said yesterday.
The report by the Labour-dominated Scottish affairs committee makes grim reading for Gordon Brown by highlighting how a majority of people in the United Kingdom now oppose a Scot becoming prime minister."

The SAC is a powerful Commons committee? Since when? For those who can be bothered, its membership is set out here - not exactly a bunch of MPs distinguished by achievement.
