Proceeding contribution from Lord Maclennan of Rogart (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Lords on Friday, 10 February 2006. It occurred during Debate on bill on Parliament (Participation of Members of the House of Commons) Bill [HL].


Parliament (Participation of Members of the House of Commons) Bill [HL]

My Lords, the noble Lord needs only enunciate that proposition to demonstrate how ridiculous it is. The idea that a Prime Minister of Britain could speak only about external relations is one that will not commend itself to the British people, any more than I believe that the Bill will commend itself to this House.
