Proceeding contribution from Lord Ashdown of Norton-sub-Hamdon (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 21 June 2011. It occurred during Debate on House of Lords: Reform.
House of Lords: Reform
How can I resist? I ask the noble Lord the following question yet again, because he makes a lot of it. Of the 77 bicameral Chambers in the world, 61 are elected. In no single one of those has the primacy of the lower Chamber been affected. Why then should it be a risk for us if it is not a risk in any one of those cases?
