No more than 5 years after the last one - so sometime between now and May 2010.
Although could be held at any time between now and then.

The decision to call a General Election rests with the Prime Minister.

Accepted practice is to plan to have one four years into a term (to give you one year to spare in case something goes wrong). This is why we had elections after 1997 in 2001 and 2005.

As a result its not unreasonable to suggest it be Summer 2009, although the powers that be may want to not coincide them with that years European elections, which cannot be moved.
