Proceeding contribution from Lord Falconer of Thoroton (Labour) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 7 February 2007. It occurred during Ministerial statement on House of Lords: Reform.


House of Lords: Reform

My Lords, I am sure that many of our policies have 92 per cent support, though it would be wearisome of me to list them now. And yes, I am aware of the opinion poll. The debate in both Chambers that will reach its climax in terms of composition should also be informed by what the public think should happen. That should be our hope and it should be very much reflected in our debates.
