Part of Oral Answers to Questions — Wireless and Television – in the House of Commons at 12:00 am on 10 November 1964.
Mr. Fletcher-Cooke:
Is there to be no independent inquiry into this very serious allegation by the right hon. Gentleman that there was some political motive behind these strikes? Is this inquiry to cover not only the Hardy Spicer strike but the British Oxygen strike in 1959, and no doubt other strikes in 1955 and 1951?
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.
