Proceeding contribution from Lord Campbell-Savours (Labour) in the House of Lords on Monday, 10 January 2011. It occurred during Committee of the Whole House (HL) and Debate on bill on Parliamentary Voting System and Constituencies Bill.


Parliamentary Voting System and Constituencies Bill

I have not read that report although it is on my reading list. There are a number of reports I have to read next weekend in preparation for the debates that will take place next week. The point is that this is not the peg on which to argue the basis on which people register. My noble friend’s amendment simply says, ““Let us have an inquiry that does precisely that””. He is saying, ““Let someone, somewhere, do some homework on this whole area before Parliament is required to carry any particular piece of legislation””. That is my case.
