Proceeding contribution from Gordon Brown (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 3 July 2007. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Constitutional Reform.

Constitutional Reform

The document proposes that the dissolution of Parliament cannot simply be at the Prime Minister’s discretion but should be by a vote in this House. That is what we shall consider and debate. I will listen to the hon. Gentleman’s comments, but I hope that he agrees that progress is made by our saying today that the dissolution of Parliament should be by vote of Parliament.
