Fixed-term Parliaments Bill

If the Parliamentary Voting Systems and Constituencies Bill had been separate Bills, I do not think that either would have gone through. On the IPSA Bill, at one stage there was a proposal to allow IPSA to adjudicate on and punish Members for breaching the rules. That would have driven a coach and horses through our traditional immunities under the Bill of Rights, but it was removed in the other place.
