Proceeding contribution from Lord Forsyth of Drumlean (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 29 March 2011. It occurred during Committee of the Whole House (HL) and Debate on bill on Fixed-term Parliaments Bill.
Fixed-term Parliaments Bill
Perhaps I am being stupid, but if a motion in the House of Commons states, ““This House has no confidence in Her Majesty's Government””, and it is passed, why do we need a certificate to say that it has been passed? The 14-day provision is open for debate, but if the Bill says that Dissolution should happen 14 days after a motion has been passed, surely it is just a matter of counting the votes. Am I missing something?
