Proceeding contribution from Edward Leigh (Conservative) 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)
Will the Deputy Prime Minister remind the House how many other countries elect people for 15 years—and he will have to do better than citing the likes of Papua New Guinea and Fiji this time? Does he not understand that having people there for 15 years will be the worst of all worlds, because they will claim democratic accountability to confront this elected House but they will be accountable to no one?
