Proceeding contribution from Baroness Laing of Elderslie (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 18 June 2008. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Parliamentary Representation (England).


Parliamentary Representation (England)

I do not for one second dispute the Minister's figures, or indeed his statistical analysis, but surely he and his fellow Ministers, when planning Government policy, look not to past statistics, but to the statistics of the present and the possible statistics of the future. At the moment, it is not likely that a Labour Government, if elected in the next few years, would have a large and comfortable majority.
