Proceeding contribution from Baroness Laing of Elderslie (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 just want to let the hon. Gentleman know that he has my support at least for one small detail of the Bill. I and most of my hon. Friends would entirely support it if it consisted only of clause 1(1):"““The next general election shall take place on 7th May 2009.””" We think that that day—if not sooner—would be an excellent date.
