Oral question asked in the House of Lords, by Lord Campbell of Alloway (Conservative). It was answered on Tuesday, 26 October 2010.
Public Expenditure: Members of Parliament
- Question
- My Lords, does this Question not pre-empt the decision of this House as to whether it will retain an appointed Chamber? Is it really possible to consider this, which is a matter of cost, when retention of the Chamber as constituted is a matter of quality of advice to the nation?
- Answer
-
My Lords, I agree with my noble friend. One of the problems with the persistence of the noble Lord, Lord Grocott, in putting these Questions on the Order Paper, is that much of this is idle speculation by him. We will soon have the Bill and then we can have a proper debate.
