Proceeding contribution from Evan Harris (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 7 April 2010. It occurred during Debate on Business of the House.
Business of the House
Is there not something particularly special about this? In this case, the House spoke and the House voted for something to happen. I believe my hon. Friend has a side interest as an historian of this place and I would like to ask him whether a Government have ever previously defied the will of the House in not doing what they are bound to do by a resolution of the House. They had to act when they lost the motion on the Gurkhas. Have a Government ever before been so arrogant that they have defied the will of the House in this way?
