Fixed-term Parliaments Bill

Proceeding contribution from Chris Bryant (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 13 July 2011. It occurred during Debate on bills on Fixed-term Parliaments Bill.
The Minister's example is completely wrong. If this House voted—on the basis of the Government's and, therefore, the Prime Minister's majority—for a fixed-term Parliament, and the other place did not vote for a fixed-term Parliament, whether there would be an early election would be in the hands of the Prime Minister. The will of this House would always have carried.
