Proceeding contribution from Lord Forsyth of Drumlean (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Friday, 20 July 2007. It occurred during Debate on bill on House of Lords Bill [HL].
House of Lords Bill [HL]
My Lords, the Minister is placing great emphasis on the free votes in both Houses. Can he help me? What was the point of having a free vote in this House if his position is that whatever the Commons decides is what should happen anyway? In terms of the composition of the committee, surely he must recognise that the representatives on our side are all committed to a position opposed to what this House voted for on a free vote.
