Proceeding contribution from Baroness Harman (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 10 December 2009. It occurred during Business statement on Business of the House.


Business of the House

It is also worth our reminding ourselves that we are all elected on a manifesto, whereby we make promises to our constituents that if we get elected we will strive to keep our promises. One thing that would undermine our democracy is if we got elected to this House and then did not deliver on our manifesto commitments. That is why we have a majority Government, rather than a minority Government, and why it is the job of the Government to deliver their business in order to keep their manifesto promises.
