Proceeding contribution from Lord Kinnock (Labour) 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

When the noble Lord checks Hansard when today’s proceedings are available, he will see himself describing the saving as a modest saving to public expenditure, which is a fair declaration; it runs pretty contrary to the declarations made at the time that the Leader of the Conservative Party announced with a flourish that he was going to cut the number of MPs by 10 per cent in order to make savings.
