My Lords, is my noble friend aware that every Opposition, certainly within my living memory, has always wished to curtail the power of the Prime Minister to call an election at a time of his choosing? Is she also aware that every Government, at least during the course of my political life, has always resisted that temptation? Can she assure me that this Government will do precisely that?

My Lords, I do not sense within this Government any desire to change the position. Of course I entirely agree with my noble friend’s comments.
