Proceeding contribution from Naomi Long (Alliance) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 13 July 2011. It occurred during Debate on bill on Fixed-term Parliaments Bill.
Fixed-term Parliaments Bill
One definition of ““fix”” is:"““To place securely; make stable or firm””." Surely the Lords amendment does the reverse on two counts, in that it neither makes it the fixed position that there will be fixed-term Parliament nor sets in stone the time at which that decision would be taken by future Parliaments. What it creates is the opposite of ““fixed””; it creates an insecure situation.
