Proceeding contribution from Lord Wakeham (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 17 May 2011. It occurred during Ministerial statement on House of Lords Reform Bill.


House of Lords Reform Bill

My Lords, my noble friend has given a great account of the Deputy Prime Minister’s proposals for the House of Lords, which we will all of course study very carefully. However, a very important issue is the effect of the weakening of the House of Commons resulting from these proposals. Does my noble friend consider that to be a proper subject for the Joint Committee to consider in the work that it will shortly undertake?
