Proceeding contribution from Lord Harper (Conservative) 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

Yes, forgive me—it was the hon. Member for Rhondda (Chris Bryant) who said it was a fag packet. This Bill was introduced in July last year. It was fully debated in this House and in the other place, and it is now almost a year later. One cannot in any sense agree with my hon. Friend's proposition that the parliamentary debate on and scrutiny of this Bill has not been thorough and well thought through.
