Oral question asked in the House of Lords, by Lord Goodhart (Liberal Democrat). It was answered on Monday, 22 June 2009.
Parliament Act 1911
- Question
- My Lords, I have always believed that we would achieve a fully or mainly elected House by the centenary of the Parliament Act. The trouble in the past few years has been over the question: which Parliament Act, 1911 or 1949? Do the Government recognise, in response to the previous intervention, that nothing will happen if they insist on consensus before taking action?
- Answer
-
My Lords, it is very important that we have come as far as we have on the basis of consensus. Of course, the best way is to move forward expanding on the consensus that we already have.
