Business of the House

Proceeding contribution from Baroness Harman (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 24 January 2008. It occurred during Business statement and Oral statement on Business of the House.
We have made it clear that any decision to change the way in which Members of this House are elected, by going from first past the post to a proportional system, would not be for us to make and that we would ask for support for the decision through a referendum. We have no proposal with which to come forward; we do not propose that following the review there should be a change in the voting system for the House of Commons.
