Proceeding contribution from Lord Howell of Guildford (Conservative) 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, perhaps I may add that this is an extremely serious matter. I have to ask the Minister that, when she winds up the debate, she will say how long the Government have known about this problem and how legislation is to be brought forward. This directly affects the right of many distinguished Members of this House to sit here. It is an urgent matter and we need to know all the details very soon.
