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.
But in 1831 the row about Dissolution and Prorogation, which was all about the proposed Great Reform Act, led to a phenomenal row in this House between the Conservatives and the Whig Government, precisely on the basis of whose decision it should be that Prorogation should proceed.
