Fixed-term Parliaments Bill

My Lords, my thought was that that sort of situation would be covered by the fact that the Prime Minister would be submitting a request for a Dissolution to Her Majesty. In all normal circumstances, of course, Her Majesty could act upon such a request. However, there could be circumstances in which Her Majesty might wish to say, ““Before accepting this request, I wish to consider whether a Dissolution is the right course of action to pursue at this time””. She could then have consultations with political leaders to find out whether that is the case.
