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
One of the advantages for an incumbent Government of an autumn election might be that if Parliament did not sit during the summer they would not have had to be scrutinised and the Executive would not have had to sit and listen. There might be some advantage for an incumbent Government in having a September or October election.
