Mr David Hanson (Delyn) (Lab)
Will the Leader of the House confirm that in the event of a two-thirds majority not agreeing to tomorrow’s motion, the only way the Government could call a general election would be to table a vote of no confidence in themselves? When does he plan to do so?
Mr Lidington
We intend to go into tomorrow’s debate with the clear objective of persuading that two-thirds majority to support the Government’s motion.
