Proceeding contribution from Geoffrey Cox (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 18 October 2010. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee of the Whole House (HC) on Parliamentary Voting System and Constituencies Bill.

Parliamentary Voting System and Constituencies Bill

Is my hon. Friend seriously suggesting that if the country opts to change the voting system to the alternative vote—I do not think that it will and I fervently hope that it will not—that a future Parliament could ever turn the clock back and restore first past the post?
