Fixed-term Parliaments Bill

Proceeding contribution from Earl of Onslow (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 15 March 2011. It occurred during Debate on bills on Fixed-term Parliaments Bill.
May I interrupt? Actually, it is a fundamental change. As the Bill is not subject to the 1911 Act, we can veto this Bill because it seeks to extend the life of Parliament. That is a fundamental constitutional change, which in my view should be resisted at all possible costs.
