A Bill to require a Prime Minister to tender their resignation to Her Majesty if the House of Commons passes a motion of no confidence in them; and for connected purposes.
House of Commons
19 September 2019
This bill would require the Prime Minister to resign to Her Majesty if the House of Commons passes a motion of no confidence in them. It creates a legal obligation for the Prime Minister to tender that resignation, and it signals that related provisions to implement the rule may follow in the bill. The long title suggests it covers additional connected provisions as well.
The bill is currently at the second reading in the House of Commons. If it progresses, it would move on to committee stage and subsequent readings before possible passage to the Lords.
