Oral question asked in the House of Commons, by Chris Leslie (Labour). It was answered by Lord Harper (Conservative) on Tuesday, 22 June 2010 on behalf of the Deputy Prime Minister.
Parliament (Dissolution)
- Question
- What criteria were used to decide on a 55% majority for a vote in the House to trigger a dissolution of Parliament.
- Answer
-
I am grateful, Mr Speaker. Labour Members clearly do not want to listen to answers to their questions. The answer is that we want to make sure that no single party in this House is able to seek a Dissolution for its own party political advantage. That is why the coalition agreement makes the provision that it does.
