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 agree with my hon. Friend. As I said, that is one reason why the proposals for a closed list system were not accepted and are not part of the current proposals. The precise form of party mechanism depends to a significant degree on the electoral system that is chosen, but I think that all of us accept the burden of what my hon. Friend says.
