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


Honours System (Reform)

I am surprised that the hon. Gentleman was able to go back only 100 years. Is he aware that the abolition of the Irish Parliament in 1801 was lubricated by a substantial number of United Kingdom peerages, which entitled Irish peers and some Members of the Dublin Parliament to sit in the House of Lords in the imperial Parliament?
