Proceeding contribution from Baroness Hollis of Heigham (Labour) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 23 March 2010. It occurred during Private notice question on Norwich and Norfolk (Structural Changes) Order 2010 and Exeter and Devon (Structural Changes) Order 2010.


Norwich and Norfolk (Structural Changes) Order 2010 and Exeter and Devon (Structural Changes) Order 2010

My Lords, has not this House over time respected the convention that the unelected House does not overturn the elected House, however strongly we may feel about the substantive issue? Therefore, would it not be inappropriate for my noble friend to tell us today what the Government intend to do before we have had the final decision this afternoon of the House of Commons—the elected House that is full of MPs whose constituencies may or may not be affected?
