Proceeding contribution from Lord Knight of Weymouth (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

I have been so enthusiastic to move this amendment—I have been waiting for the past 15 hours—but I did not get any sleep and so I am perhaps not being as coherent as I could be. When I said they would be elected in thirds on the basis of a regional list, that regional list would be there by virtue of the secondary mandate and the recycled votes cast for Members of Parliament.
