Recall of MPs Bill

Proceeding contribution from Lord Hughes of Woodside (Labour) in the House of Lords on Monday, 2 March 2015. It occurred during Debate on bills on Recall of MPs Bill.

I understand my noble friend’s position as leading for the Opposition, but I know of nowhere in any election manifesto or decision where we stand or fall by a matter of 10 days, 15 days or 20 days. The principle is not being attacked in any sense by this amendment. I beg of her, as I have asked the Minister, at least to think about the possibility—without committing the party at the other end to change its mind—of looking at the matter afresh, just to give it a chance.
