Fixed-term Parliaments (Repeal) Bill [HL]

[As Introduced]
A
BILL
to

This bill removes the rule that requires general elections to happen every 5 years on a fixed date. It would let the Prime Minister call elections whenever they want (within a 5year limit). This reverses a previous law called the Fixedterm Parliaments Act from 2011.

Presented by Lord Desai.
