Proceeding contribution from Jack Straw (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 24 November 2010. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee of the Whole House (HC) on Fixed-term Parliaments Bill.
Fixed-term Parliaments Bill
In that situation, the Government of the day would have worked with the smaller parties and said, ““You can have your shout on the two thirds majority, and in return, we'll give a bit of extra cash to Northern Ireland,”” and so on. That would have happened. Therefore, the motion of no confidence would probably never have been tabled, and even if it was, it probably would have been lost.
