Proceeding contribution from Baroness Royall of Blaisdon (Labour) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 25 November 2009. It occurred during Non-legislative formal proceeding on Deputy Chairmen of Committees.

Deputy Chairmen of Committees

My Lords, to reply briefly, I am well aware of the views expressed by my noble friend and the fact that these views are shared by many people around this Chamber, not least my noble friend Lord Rooker, the noble Lord, Lord Higgins, and various others who spoke on the second day of the gracious Speech, in relation to the Constitutional Reform Bill and other issues. Obviously, the Wright committee dealt with issues pertaining to the House of Commons, but many of those issues will have implications for this House. There are many other issues that people in this House wish to address. At present, I am not sure that there is a relevant committee. I will take this matter back to the usual channels, the Lord Speaker and others in this Chamber to see how best we can find a mechanism for addressing some of these issues, which are of great concern to Members of this House.
