Proceeding contribution from David Howarth (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 3 July 2007. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Constitutional Reform.

Constitutional Reform

The Prime Minister did not respond to one of the questions asked by my right hon. and learned Friend the Member for North-East Fife (Sir Menzies Campbell), namely, that about electoral reform. Will he state his personal view on electoral reform for this House? Does he recognise that having a Government who are invariably elected by a minority among the voters of this country undermines the legitimacy of all Governments?
