Proceeding contribution from Lord Sewel (Labour) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 21 June 2011. It occurred during Debate on House of Lords: Reform.


House of Lords: Reform

Does the noble Lord accept that the whole justification and rationale for the Parliament Acts was conflict between an elected House and a non-elected House and the reluctance of the elected House to have its will frustrated by a non-elected House? That was the whole argument behind the Parliament Acts.
