Proceeding contribution from Michael Connarty (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 25 May 2010. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Dissolution of Parliament.
Dissolution of Parliament
The hon. Gentleman is correct on the point about resignation, which I did know about, but when a Prime Minister loses a vote of confidence—for example, the First Minister in Scotland—he need not resign. That is the point that I am making. Unless the hon. Gentleman puts it in his Bill that after a vote of confidence is lost the Prime Minister must resign, it is worth nothing.
