Proceeding contribution from Lord Carter (Labour) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 15 March 2006. It occurred during Debate on bill on Identity Cards Bill.
Identity Cards Bill
My Lords, the Parliament Act has been used four times since 1949. Three of those occasions were on free votes, not whipped votes. The only occasion when it was used on a whipped vote was the European Parliamentary Elections Bill. I will not go into detail, but that was a very special case and an arrangement between the parties. Since 1949, however, the Parliament Act has always been used on a free vote.
