Pre-Election Legislation
EDM number 771 in 2004-05, proposed by Paul Flynn on 23/02/2005.
That this House believes that General Election dates should be announced three months in advance and that no legislation should be enacted in the pre-election period, which should be used for debating draft bills; notes the lamentable collapse of the courage and critical abilities of honourable Members induced by pre-elections tension as demonstrated by the passing of the legislative absurdity of the Drugs Bill without votes at second or third readings; regrets that this Bill will transform the present VAT-paying legal market of low harm British magic mushrooms into a criminal illegal market of imported potentially dangerous mushrooms; and calls on the unelected Chamber to carry out a wholesale revision of this Bill.
This motion has been signed by a total of 7 MPs.
