Proceeding contribution from Lord Tyler (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 10 November 2010. It occurred during Question for short debate on Parliament: Elected House of Lords.

Parliament: Elected House of Lords

My Lords, I wonder whether the noble Lord would confirm that it is the Government’s view that it would be better for one Joint Committee both to undertake pre-legislative scrutiny of the Bill and to consider the relationship between the two Houses, rather than—as I understand the noble Baroness, Lady Royall, has suggested—for a separate Joint Committee to look at that issue. Would it not be better that that issue is looked at comprehensively by one Joint Committee in pre-legislative scrutiny over the full period to the Queen’s Speech in 2012 rather than that two exercises should act separately?
