Proceeding contribution from Chris Bryant (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. Lady is right again, and she is very good at saying the ““prerogative power of prorogation””. The additional power the Government currently have is the power to decide whether a motion gains precedence on the Order Paper or not. One of the difficulties with the current draft of the Bill is that there is no provision to ensure that a prospective new Prime Minister trying to form a Government would be able to table a motion of confidence.
