Proceeding contribution from Lord Rooker (Labour Independent) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 29 June 2010. It occurred during Debate on House of Lords Reform.
House of Lords Reform
I seek clarification on this point. Like other Members, I have read all three manifestos, which all talked about the House being mainly or wholly elected. Not one of them raised the issue of what this place is for. At what point will the House get the chance to debate what a Second Chamber is for, what it is to do and what its powers are? Surely, all we are talking about at the moment is its composition, which seems to be the wrong way round.
