Proceeding contribution from Lord Norton of Louth (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 14 October 2008. It occurred during Debates on delegated legislation on European Parliament (House of Lords Disqualification) Regulations 2008.
European Parliament (House of Lords Disqualification) Regulations 2008
My Lords, I understand the point the Minister is advancing, but the force of his argument would apply to those who were elected to this House through the by-election option after these regulations take effect, or after the 2004 order is introduced. What about hereditary Peers elected to the House before 2004 who came in on the basis that they would be the equivalent of life Peers and who would not be aware that they would subsequently be excluded from seeking election to the European Parliament, if that was their wish?
