Proceeding contribution from Baroness Royall of Blaisdon (Labour) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 10 June 2009. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Constitutional Renewal.

Constitutional Renewal

My Lords, I completely agree with the point about independence, which is why I am delighted that the Lord Speaker, as chair of the House Committee, has ensured that the SSRB will look at our system of expenses. Of course, both Houses of Parliament need to be much better educated about the other House. In that, I would include Ministers, as it is exasperating when one’s colleagues do not have enough information about what goes on in the other House. The Speaker of each House has a role to play in ensuring that the other House is better informed.
