Proceeding contribution from Andrew Mackinlay (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 1 November 2006. It occurred during Debate on Legislative Process.


Legislative Process

Surely the example we must address is not the recall of Parliament because of an invasion of another country, but because of a transport tragedy, such as the sinking of the Herald of Free Enterprise or a major rail crash. If that happened today, we would have a statement and questions tomorrow. If it happens in September, there is no statement and no examination.
