Speaking in the House of Lords on 24 March 2025

Debate

Local Authorities (Changes to Years of Ordinary Elections) (England) Order 2025

Contribution

The occasion in the year 2000 was one of those rare occasions, when I was supported by the noble Lord, Lord Strathclyde. Several fatal Motions have also been carried out by this House on other occasions. I consider this to be an appropriate occasion for this House to say that Governments should not be allowed to postpone elections at the last minute in this fashion.
