Proceeding contribution from Lord Harris of Haringey (Labour) in the House of Lords on Thursday, 27 May 2010. It occurred during Queen's speech debate on Queen's Speech.


Queen's Speech

The noble Lord’s point about a fixed term is interesting. He cited with approbation the fixed term for the US President being four years. In local government, as he knows, the fixed term is four years. Why does he think that a five-year term is appropriate in this context?
