Proceeding contribution from Lord McNally (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 15 December 2010. It occurred during Committee of the Whole House (HL) and Debate on bill on Parliamentary Voting System and Constituencies Bill.
Parliamentary Voting System and Constituencies Bill
We all know that the final line of the ““Beyond the Fringe”” sketch was, ““But neither should this be taken as an abstention””. I suggest to the House, quite genuinely, that—as the noble Baroness, Lady Liddell, reminded us—getting this wrong could cause all kinds of trouble with the best of intentions.
