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
Am I right to think that the Government would have to move a Bill of the sort that the hon. Gentleman describes, so if the Government did not want to do so in a political emergency, the Opposition would not be able to do so—as is the case now as we cannot choose when we want an election?
