Proceeding contribution from Gerald Kaufman (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 14 July 2008. It occurred during Ministerial statement on House of Lords Reform.


House of Lords Reform

May I thank my right hon. Friend for his courtesy in sending me an advance copy of the White Paper and for his kind words about my work on the royal commission? Having read the White paper, I congratulate him on producing a masterpiece of imprecision, vacillation and obfuscation that cannot possibly lead to meaningful legislation—a consequence entirely to be desired.
