Proceeding contribution from Jonathan Evans (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 30 June 2010. It occurred during Queen's speech debate on Legislative Programme and Budget Statement (Wales).

Legislative Programme and Budget Statement (Wales)

But is it? In Wales, 36% of the electorate supported the hon. Gentleman’s party while 46% supported my party and that of our hon. Friends, the Liberal Democrats. Before anybody says ““proportional representation””, those Members who have known me the longest will know that, for 20 years, that issue, like Europe, has been one on which I have not been a mainstream Conservative thinker. I strongly believe in proportional representation, and I will develop that point in a moment, but Labour Members should realise that, although there are 26 of them, there would be 10 fewer under a proportional system.
