Proceeding contribution from Lord Randall of Uxbridge (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Friday, 16 May 2008. It occurred during Debate on bill on Fixed Term Parliaments Bill.


Fixed Term Parliaments Bill

I am listening with great interest to the hon. Gentleman's arguments. He might be coming on to this, but I have been trying to see where in his Bill there would be provision for an earlier election if, for example, there were some emergency. If a Government were to lose a substantial vote, that should trigger a general election. Would that be covered by his Bill?
