Proceeding contribution from Lord Young of Cookham (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 16 December 2010. It occurred during Business statement on Business of the House.


Business of the House

I reject the accusation that anything has been done in a cavalier manner. As I said in response to the right hon. Member for Leeds Central (Hilary Benn), the convention that has been followed in this case exactly replicates the convention that was followed the last time a seat was declared void, which was in the constituency of Winchester.
