Proceeding contribution from Lord Wilson of Sedgefield (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 20 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
In a debate last night, the hon. Member for Epping Forest (Mrs Laing) proved to me that this is a partisan move, when she said that some hon. Members oppose it because they are"““trying to avoid being turkeys voting for Christmas.””—[Official Report, 19 October 2010; Vol. 516, c. 908.]" That is what the Conservative party is saying.
