Proceeding contribution from Lord Hunt of Kings Heath (Labour) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 25 March 2008. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Constitution.

Constitution

Yes, my Lords, the Government would very much welcome further discussion with the General Synod on the practical details of the new appointments procedures. I repeat what I said in the Statement. The Government remain committed to the establishment of the Church of England and greatly value the role played by the Church of England in our national life. The right reverend Prelate will know that Lords reform depends on whether the 80 per cent or 100 per cent elected option is chosen but, of course, we are ever mindful of the contribution that bishops of the Church of England make to your Lordships' House.
