Proceeding contribution from Baroness Hoey (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 17 May 2011. It occurred during Ministerial statement on House of Lords Reform (Draft Bill).


House of Lords Reform (Draft Bill)

Most people will agree that the House of Lords has become too large, but that could be changed by all the parties agreeing to stop making so many new Lords. I do not know what happens on the buses in Sheffield and what people on those buses are saying, but I certainly know that people on the Clapham omnibus in my area are not demanding the reform of the House of Lords, as they have many, many higher priorities, yet they have to see huge amounts of time, effort and money being wasted on this.
