Proceeding contribution from Baroness Kinnock of Holyhead (Labour) in the House of Lords on Thursday, 10 December 2009. It occurred during Debate on Commonwealth: Democracy and Development.
Commonwealth: Democracy and Development
My Lords, it may be of benefit to the whole House if I rise briefly to give the noble Baroness the assurance she seeks. The Government are aware of the legal uncertainty for Members of the House who are Commonwealth and Republic of Ireland citizens, and we will legislate before the end of the current Session of Parliament to put the issue beyond doubt. I will provide a fuller explanation when I reply to the debate, but for the time being, I hope that the noble Baroness is reassured.
