Proceeding contribution from Chris Bryant (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 1 July 2010. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Act of Settlement.
Act of Settlement
As I said, posh tosh. The Minister is going to cite arguments that the civil servants around the corner will have prepared for him about how awfully difficult this is and how many pieces of legislation are involved, but if he is going to reform the House of Lords he is going to have to start with Magna Carta, and that is going considerably further back than the Act of Settlement.
