If it is proved, in the proceedings of the Scottish Grand Committee at its meeting to-morrow, that there is substantial agreement regarding the education Clauses of this Bill, and that it can be sent back on the Report stage to this House with general concurrence, will the Government give facilities for its further progress?
In a general election, each constituency chooses an MP to represent it by process of election. The party who wins the most seats in parliament is in power, with its leader becoming Prime Minister and its Ministers/Shadow Ministers making up the new Cabinet. If no party has a majority, this is known as a hung Parliament. The next general election will take place on or before 3rd June 2010.
