Proceeding contribution from Viscount Astor (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Thursday, 17 January 2008. It occurred during Committee of the Whole House (HL) and Debate on bill on House of Lords Bill [HL].
House of Lords Bill [HL]
While the Minister is thinking of his answers, perhaps I could again draw his attention to the Public Administration Select Committee report. Paragraph 141 says: "““One of the simplest ways to reduce the potential market value of peerages would be to separate the honour and the title from the seat in the legislature. The Government has already indicated it supports this””." Does the noble Lord think that that is correct?
