Proceeding contribution from Tristram Hunt (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
The hon. Gentleman is of course correct. There will be extra layers and extra opportunities for lawyers to intervene. It was no wonder that Lord Steyn commented in the light of the Hunting Act 2004 that it"““is not unthinkable that circumstances could arise where the courts may have to qualify a principle established on a different hypothesis of constitutionalism””." I think that in plain English that means they would be interested to get their teeth into the proceedings in this place.
