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 understand the right hon. and learned Gentleman's point. The closed party list is no part of these proposals; let us be clear about that. It was in our 1997 manifesto—[Interruption.] We will leave aside how it got there—Interruption.] Not by me—[Interruption.] I am being interrupted. The right hon. and learned Gentleman was, of course, right in the rest of what he said.
