Proceeding contribution from Charles Walker (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 1 December 2010. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee of the Whole House (HC) on Fixed-term Parliaments Bill.
Fixed-term Parliaments Bill
My children once asked me, ““What does a heffalump look like?”” I said, ““You'll know one when you see one.”” Has that not been the case with confidence motions throughout history? The House has known one when it has seen one, and we are in danger of over-complicating the process in the Bill.
