Proceeding contribution from Stephen Pound (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 27 April 2006. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Honours System (Reform).


Honours System (Reform)

Before my hon. Friend leaves that point—I give him credit for the extraordinarily deep historical research that he has undertaken—I want to refer to the large number of hereditary peerages and baronetcies that he mentioned. Is my hon. Friend aware of whether any of the original purchasers of those honours are still sitting in the House of Lords? If so, should not their names be more widely known?
