Oral question asked in the House of Commons, by Lord Brennan of Canton (Labour). It was answered on Tuesday, 22 June 2010 on behalf of the Deputy Prime Minister.


Parliament (Dissolution)

Question
If this proposal passes with the support of fewer than 55% of Members, will the Minister still attempt to impose it?
Answer

The hon. Gentleman should know that our proposal is about improving the powers of this House; it does not change the rules for the confidence procedures—[Hon. Members: "Answer."] If Opposition Members listen, I will. This will be taken through on the Floor of the House and the hon. Gentleman, along with all his hon. Friends, will have the opportunity to debate it in detail then.
