Proceeding contribution from Lord Strabolgi (Labour) 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, the undertaking was given by the noble and learned Lord, Lord Irvine, on the understanding that the main reform would follow very shortly afterwards, probably in the next Session. That was nine years ago. We are now told that no further reform will happen in this Parliament—that makes it 11 years—and it will not be taken as first business in the next Parliament, so we are getting on to a very long period.
