Recall of MPs Bill

Proceeding contribution from Lord Beamish (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 27 October 2014. It occurred during Debate on bills and Committee of the Whole House (HC) on Recall of MPs Bill.

In 2011, there were 150 recall elections in the United States—this is not just at state level, but at a local level—and there were 30 in Michigan alone. The hon. Gentleman makes a point about endless recalls but, in practice, people in the United States who are subject to recall do not contest the process, but resign.
