Proceeding contribution from Lord Avebury (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Lords on Friday, 22 February 2008. It occurred during Debate on bill on House of Lords (Amendment) Bill [HL].
House of Lords (Amendment) Bill [HL]
My Lords, I have not taken actuarial advice, but there are hereditary noble Lords who are a great deal younger than I am so the process would take several decades. But that is not the point; it is not that the hereditaries should continue indefinitely because they may well be swept away by further reforms such as that of my noble friend Lord Steel. This is a purely short-term and interim measure.
