Proceeding contribution from Lord Sentamu (Bishops (affiliation)) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 29 June 2010. It occurred during Debate on House of Lords Reform.
House of Lords Reform
I am confused; perhaps the noble Earl can explain. He says that by electing this Chamber, those powers can be properly used. The House of Commons is all-elected. Does it do better in making the Government accountable? Does it use its time to revise the law properly? They are elected. What difference would that make to this House that does not happen in the House of Commons, which is fully elected? Can he enlighten me?
