Proceeding contribution from Lord Strathclyde (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, I have dealt with the question about accountability and 15 years. If the White Paper had proposed a first-past-the-post system, my noble friend could quite legitimately say that two Houses elected on a similar mandate could well clash far more than those elected on different mandates. It is up to my noble friend but I am sure that he does not think that PR is a more legitimate system than first past the post.
