Fixed-term Parliaments Bill

Proceeding contribution from Mark Harper (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.
No. The hon. Gentleman must not keep giving the Committee misleading arguments. The Bill does not extend the term of this Parliament—this Parliament can run for five years. Members of the devolved Parliament and Assemblies have asked the Government to think about how they can make a decision on whether to move the date—a sensible provision—of elections.
