Business of the House

The terms of the motion, which the Leader of the House actually voted against, provided for this change to be made in time for the beginning of the next Parliament. That means that this should be done in this Parliament; it is the job of this Parliament. She accepted that when she said:""I am under a duty and a responsibility to ensure that this happens before the next Parliament so that…Standing Orders are in place."—[Official Report, 18 March 2010; Vol. 507, c. 986.]" Was she wrong then? Did she misspeak? Was she trying to mislead us? Why did she say that then, given what she is saying now?
