Proceeding contribution from Lord Cope of Berkeley (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Monday, 12 July 2010. It occurred during Debate on House of Lords: Working Practices.
House of Lords: Working Practices
There are differences between the way in which Whips in this House and Whips in the other House operate. Of course, Whips in this House look after the interests of their party among other things, and they also have a great responsibility, as they do in the other House, for the institution as a whole, but the Whips in this House have in addition a great responsibility for the members of their group, be it their party or the Cross Benches. If they do not look after them, they do not get on very well. They are also extremely open to both public and private scrutiny.
