Fixed-term Parliaments Bill

Proceeding contribution from Mark Reckless (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.
That is very kind. I believe that there is a recent precedent in Canada, whose Parliament—if I understand the position correctly—was prorogued for two or three months by a minority Government, against the wishes of many parliamentary parties.
