Proceeding contribution from Eric Forth (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 11 January 2006. It occurred during Debate on bill on Electoral Administration Bill 2005-06.
Electoral Administration Bill
Does the Minister agree that her comments are a good illustration of why matters that are subject to all-party agreement are invariably a disastrous flop? Does she also agree that what we need is robust debate and robust opposition to ensure that we do not walk blindfold and hand in hand in agreement into an arrangement that turns out not to work? I am grateful to her because she has reinforced my long-held view that Parliament works best on the basis of robust opposition and robust debate.
