Proceeding contribution from Lord Strathclyde (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 am very grateful to my noble friend and, indeed, to the Minister. Sometimes it feels a little like being General Custer here at the Dispatch Box. I am glad for the support that they have given us. The Minister is quite right that when we get to these clauses in Committee, we really will be able to debate in great detail exactly what they mean, how they will work in practice and what impact the role of the Prime Minister and the political parties will have.
