Proceeding contribution from Angela C Smith (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)
I am surprised that the Deputy Prime Minister should be focusing on this issue, given that in the local elections in Sheffield people were bothered only about jobs, inflation and getting his party out of the town hall. However, how can he describe his vision as ““representative”” or ““democratic””, given that it would give representation to those who are members of the Church of England but would not give it to those of Jewish faith, Catholic faith or Muslim faith?
