Fixed-term Parliaments Bill

Proceeding contribution from Baroness Laing of Elderslie (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 16 November 2010. It occurred during Debate on bills and Committee of the Whole House (HC) on Fixed-term Parliaments Bill.
I am afraid that I have to disagree. There is no expectation that a Parliament should run other than for five years. In the past century, there have been some five-year and some four-year Parliaments. There is no such expectation, but there is a law and it says five years.
