Proceeding contribution from Lord Falconer of Thoroton (Labour) in the House of Lords on Monday, 21 March 2011. It occurred during Committee of the Whole House (HL) and Debate on bill on Fixed-term Parliaments Bill.


Fixed-term Parliaments Bill

Can the noble Lord quote one bit of evidence in favour of five years? I suspect that the public have no view on whether it should be four years or five; it is for us to judge.
