House of Lords: Reform
- Question
- My Lords, given that many of the most important constitutional changes in this country, including the Parliament Act 1911, have been achieved without consensus, does the Lord Chancellor accept that, while consensus may be desirable, it is not essential?
- Answer
-
My Lords, I said that it was necessary. I think that for the reform of this House, at this time, consensus is necessary.
