Oral answer to question provided on Tuesday, 21 December 2010 in the House of Lords, by Lord Strathclyde (Conservative).
Peers
- Answer
-
My Lords, in many ways, that may well have been a definition of those Peers who worked bravely on behalf of the Opposition in the dark years between 1997 and 2010. However, I indicated in answer to an earlier question that I thought the term ““working Peer”” was now outdated.
This is an answer to the Oral question asked on Tuesday, 21 December 2010 by Lord Howarth of Newport (Labour).
- Question
- My Lords, could a working definition of a working Peer be a Member of your Lordships' House who spends a lot of hours in the Chamber very properly scrutinising ill thought-out, badly prepared and excessive legislation such as the Parliamentary Voting System and Constituencies Bill brought in by this Government?
