Proceeding contribution from Baroness Ashton of Upholland (Labour) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 3 July 2007. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Constitution.

Constitution

My Lords, I am grateful to the noble Lord, Lord Maclennan of Rogart, who has a long and distinguished history of being concerned about constitutional reform. I agree with his comments about my right honourable friend the Prime Minister, his 10 years at the top and his ability to consider what now needs to be done. I agree that this is about increasing the effectiveness of Government. Part of that is considering the roles of your Lordships’ House and another place, and ensuring that we consider how they can best serve the people.
