Proceeding contribution from Jack Straw (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
I know that the hon. Gentleman has a particular view of the Whips— ...He says yes, but I have a slightly different view. I think that we cannot operate a party system without Whips, however difficult they may be from time to time—and that is an eternal verity. The whipping system in their lordships' House is already rather loose compared with the system in this House, and that may continue.
