Proceeding contribution from Geraint Davies (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 19 May 2011. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Constitutional Reform (Wales).
Constitutional Reform (Wales)
As the hon. Gentleman will know, the Government continue to talk about greater democratic accountability and the reform of the House of Lords. Current plans are to get rid of 50 elected representatives from the House of Commons, including a quarter of Welsh MPs, and at the same time to introduce an extra 150 unelected Lords. There is no real chance of those reforms to the House of Lords going forward. Is the hon. Gentleman worried about having a greater proportion of unelected representatives and fewer elected representatives, and will he vote against that?
