Parliamentary Voting System and Constituencies Bill

Proceeding contribution from Mark Williams (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 12 October 2010. It occurred during Debate on bills and Committee of the Whole House (HC) on Parliamentary Voting System and Constituencies Bill.
The hon. Gentleman is being selective. The Bill is one part of a big package. We have not even started work on reform of the second Chamber. The Government will tackle a whole range of issues over a longer period. Have I, like the hon. Gentleman, had the biggest postbag on AV? No, I have not. It is important to galvanise opinion in this country by putting the question to the people in a referendum.
