Parliament: Fixed Terms
- Question
- asked Her Majesty's Government:Whether they will ask the Electoral Commission or any other body to investigate and report on the desirability or otherwise of fixed-term Parliaments.
- Answer
-
The Government have no plans to ask the Electoral Commission or any other body to report on the issue of introducing fixed-term Parliaments for the UK legislature. However, the Government are currently taking forward a wide-ranging constitutional debate, and the review that it is holding into the constitution will undoubtedly raise questions about issues such as the introduction of fixed-term Parliaments.
