Proceeding contribution from Earl of Caithness (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Thursday, 19 March 2009. It occurred during Committee of the Whole House (HL) and Debate on bill on House of Lords Bill [HL].
House of Lords Bill [HL]
I listened with care to what the noble Lord, Lord Steel, said, but I think his argument is fundamentally wrong. He can talk for however long he wants about Clause 9, but Clause 1(2) is very clear. It says: ""No recommendations for the creation of life peerages shall be made other than by the Commission"." My noble friend Lord Strathclyde is therefore absolutely right that that is a purpose of the Bill.
