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

On why the hon. Gentleman voted as he did, he will have to consult himself and also perhaps the man for whom he works as Parliamentary Private Secretary—the Leader of the Opposition—as it may be that he was told to vote that way. Who knows? But he did vote for it and we, being faithful servants of the House, have implemented the mandate of the Commons.
