Proceeding contribution from Diane Abbott (Labour) 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 remember the 1992 manifesto with some clarity, and I was about to point out that the quotation cited by my hon. Friend the Minister referred to the 1983 manifesto. I was grateful for the dithering of the then Government in 1991, because I was pregnant, and at one point I anticipated that I would have my baby in the middle of that autumn election campaign.
