Proceeding contribution from Julian Lewis (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)
When asked by my hon. Friend the Member for Epping Forest (Mrs Laing) how one would resolve a clash between the two Houses, the Deputy Prime Minister said, ““Well, this is why we are going to have different electoral systems, with proportional representation for the reformed Chamber.”” Given that he believes that proportional representation is more democratic than first past the post, which of the two Chambers would he believe to be taking the correct decision if there were a clash on the basis that he outlined?
