  • Dprr/10-11/39
    DPRR/10-11/39 FIXED-TERM PARLIAMENTS BILL (LORDS INTRODUCTION VERSION) Memorandum concerning the Delegated Powers in the Bill for the Delegated Powers and Regulatory Reform Committee A. INTRODUCTION 1. This memorandum has been prepared for the Delegated Powers and Regulatory Reform Committee to assist with its scrutiny of the Fixed-term Parliaments Bill (“the Bill”). The Bill was introduced in the House of Commons on 22 July 2010 and brought to the House of Lords on 19 January 2011. This memorandum identifies the provisions of the Bill that confer powers to make delegated legislation. It explains in each case why the power has been taken and explains the nature of, and the reason for, the procedure selected. This version of the memorandum is in substance the same as the version produced prior to the introduction of the Bill in the House of Commons. None of the amendments to the Bill made in the Commons added to or amended the delegated powers in the Bill. B. PURPOSE AND EFFECT OF THE BILL 2. The coalition programme for government made a commitment to bring forward legislation to establish five-year fixed-term parliaments. This Bill delivers that commitment and provides for other matters consequential on that change. 3. In outline, the Bill provides for a fixed day for polls for parliamentary general elections. The polling day for elections would ordinarily be the first Thursday in May every five years. The first such polling day for elections to the House of Commons under the new arrangements will take place on Thursday 7 May 2015.
