Wrangling On Confidence Motion Unlikely To Have Impact

UK

Reports circulating that the gov't is attempting to shut the opposition Labour party out of holding a confidence motion on the gov't tomorrow in the Commons. Lewis Goodall at the BBC tweets on the issue:

  • "[The denial to the opposition] all comes down to the wording of the motion. If it’s a standard no confidence motion it would be entirely improper and unconstitutional for govt to deny. If worded to be critical of individual ministers, or designed to test conf in PM specifically, it could be ruled out."
  • Labour pointing to this precedent from 1965 when Ted Heath tabled a motion of no confidence against Harold Wilson’s govt: “That this House has no confidence in HMG and deplores the Prime Minister’s conduct of the nation’s affairs.” This was ruled in order and govt won the vote."
  • "Govt will say that isn’t precedent because that motion was no confidence *and* while Labour’s is apparently confidence *while*, Ie no confidence in [Boris Johnson] as PM rather than confidence of govt as a whole. I.e. that Labour motion introduces element of conditionality which VONC is not about
  • Labour source saying that the parliamentary clerks ruled the motion “entirely in order”
In any eventuality, if vote goes ahead gov't has a secure majority, no prospect of the vote resulting in the immediate dismissal of the gov't.
