Oral question asked in the House of Lords, by Lord Campbell-Savours (Labour). It was answered on Monday, 24 January 2011.


Constitutional Reform: Referendums

Question
Does the noble Lord accept that a referendum on the voting system for the House of Commons is a constitutional issue?
Answer

My Lords, that is a matter of judgment. I do not know whether this is a trick question. As to whether, if there is a change in the voting system, our constitution will reflect that, that is a matter of the obvious.
