Mr Burcow said that the suspension of parliament was " a Government fiat", at least that's how its pronounced! I cant find a definition of this word spelt that way, and 'feat' come back just as 'a difficult achievement' or similar. I think I know what he meant, but I would like to be sure.

"And God said..."

..."lux fiat" (in the Latin translation of the OT). Subjunctive of the verb fieri: "let there be light".
