FIXED-TERM PARLIAMENTS BILL: Second Reading (Queen’s Consent to be signified).
|
[Until 10.00 pm]
|
|
|
|
That this House declines to give the Fixed-term Parliaments Bill a second reading because it enables the holding of Westminster
Parliamentary elections on the same day as the devolved national elections of Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, ignoring
the findings of the Gould Report into the 2007 Scottish Elections; because it fails to provide for the option of four-year
parliamentary terms; and because the Government has failed to seek the consent or advice of the devolved administrations regarding
the future cycle of election dates.
|
|
The Second Report from the Political and Constitutional Reform Committee, Fixed-term Parliaments Bill (HC 436), is relevant.
|
Debate may continue until 10.00 pm.
