asked the Prime Minister if he will set up an inquiry into strikes, both official and unofficial, which took place at the time of the General Election; what form the inquiry will take; and what are to be its terms of reference.
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.
