Proceeding contribution from Lord Tyler (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Lords on Monday, 15 November 2010. It occurred during Debate on bill on Parliamentary Voting System and Constituencies Bill.


Parliamentary Voting System and Constituencies Bill

My Lords, I am very grateful to my noble friend for allowing me to intervene. Is he recalling that the Constitution Committee of your Lordships' House has not only said that there should be, "““a general presumption against the use of voter turnout thresholds and super-majorities””," but also that, "““the presumption should be in favour of questions posing only two options for voters””?" On both counts, as many Members of your Lordships' House have been quoting the Constitution Committee earlier today, they have stated specifically their advice to the House.
