Fixed-term Parliaments Bill

Proceeding contribution from Chris Bryant (Labour) 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.
I agree that historical precedent is important, but I think the last time the monarch was involved directly in a speech made before Prorogation was 1851 or 1854, so we are going back some time. Since then there has been quite a transformation of the Prorogation system.
