Fixed-term Parliaments Bill

Proceeding contribution from Gavin Williamson (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 sure that my hon. Friend is very familiar with these figures, but 10 of the past 17 Parliaments lasted longer than four years, and six of those 10 lasted longer than four and a half years. That probably supports her argument that many Parliaments run for much longer than four years.
