Proceeding contribution from Baroness May of Maidenhead (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 19 April 2017. It occurred during Debate on Early Parliamentary General Election.
Early Parliamentary General Election
We have a Fixed-term Parliaments Act that enables us to have fixed-term Parliaments. I believe that at this point in time, it is right for us to have this debate and this vote in this House, and I believe that it is right for Members of this House to vote—I shall explain why—for us to have a general election at this stage.
