Proceeding contribution from Tony Wright (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 27 April 2006. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Honours System (Reform).
Honours System (Reform)
: That is a fascinating suggestion. I am surprised that members of the press, who are so assiduous on so many fronts, have not been assiduous in tracing the lines of descent from some of those characters who were given hereditary peerages all those years ago. It would be nice to see from where their claim to legislative authority derives.
