835 Fixed-term <strong>Parliament</strong>s Bill 1 DECEMBER 2010 Fixed-term <strong>Parliament</strong>s Bill 836<br />
[Mr Harper]<br />
The Opposition’s amendment tries to specify the text<br />
of the no confidence motion, but does not try to achieve<br />
equivalent clarity as regards the motion of confidence<br />
that would have to be passed within 14 days by an<br />
alternative Government in order to avoid a general<br />
election. The amendment is trying to achieve some<br />
certainty—that was what the hon. Member for Rhondda<br />
said—but I do not think it does. I also do not think it is<br />
desirable or appropriate to try to set out the text of the<br />
motions in the Bill.<br />
The Government think that clause 2(2) provides a<br />
clear and practical mechanism that gives statutory effect<br />
to a vote of no confidence. I have set out the Government’s<br />
concerns about the amendments and I hope that hon.<br />
Members will not seek to press them to a vote.<br />
Mr Shepherd: I should like to press amendment 5 to a<br />
vote, with the consent of my hon. Friend the Member<br />
for Stone (Mr Cash).<br />
The Second Deputy Chairman: The question is, that<br />
the amendment be made.<br />
Hon. Members: Aye.<br />
Hon. Members: No.<br />
The Second Deputy Chairman: I think the Noes have it.<br />
Mr Shepherd: We wanted to press the amendment to<br />
a Division, Ms Primarolo.<br />
The Second Deputy Chairman: I need to hear you<br />
pressing the amendment, Mr Shepherd. I need you to<br />
shout louder for me. I am happy to do it again, but I<br />
need to hear the vote.<br />
Question put, That the amendment be made.<br />
The Committee divided: Ayes 6, Noes 498.<br />
