Fixed-term Parliaments Bill

Proceeding contribution from Jacob Rees-Mogg (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 18 January 2011. It occurred during Debate on bills and Committee of the Whole House (HC) on Fixed-term Parliaments Bill.
Will my hon. Friend's new clause ensure that after the next election, the Prime Minister, instead of going through the fiction of having a vote of no confidence in himself, could simply ask for a Dissolution by a vote of the House? If the new clause were accepted, would it not provide a much more straightforward way of getting an early Dissolution?
