Invoked 1949 Parliament Act
The PM invoked the 1949 Parliament Act on three of the four occasions it has ever been used – thereby ignoring the will of the House of Lords.
Claim made by Peter Luff, Conservative MP for Mid-Worcesteshire, during the proceedings of the Commons Liaison Committee on 18th June 2007.
