Proceeding contribution from Lord Selsdon (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 29 June 2010. It occurred during Debate on House of Lords Reform.
House of Lords Reform
I really believe that one of the things that we can do is provide more information on this House. If we do not have a role as an individual and we cannot define the role of the House, and if we believe in representative government—we are part of government—who do we represent? Last time around, I declared that I had agreed to represent everyone who did not vote at the last election and every person who was elected by another body, which was something like 106,000. It is fairly simple. Before we go any further, we need to define what people think the current and future role is of the House of Lords and of its Members.
