Proceeding contribution from Viscount Hailsham (Conservative) 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 support my hon. Friend the Member for North-East Hertfordshire (Mr. Heald) in emphasising the importance of relatively small, identifiable and manageable constituencies? That rather suggests the old Euro-constituencies prior to 1983. In choosing the method of election, can we keep in mind the undesirability of too much interference from party central offices—and that certainly argues against a closed party list system?
