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 agree entirely with the first part of my noble friend’s statement. If you introduced a statutory appointments commission and put an end to the remaining hereditary Peers staying here, it would be a significant change. The question is whether one should go further.
