Proceeding contribution from Lord McNally (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Lords on Monday, 17 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

Perhaps I may intervene. The noble and learned Lord is a grand old parliamentarian who can spot an opportunity when he sees one. I made no threat to this House. All I did was draw the parallel that if a party in this House makes it unworkable, there are dangers for the traditions of this House. That is only point I was making, so I hope he will not spin from it a 15 or 20-minute speech.
