Proceeding contribution from Lord Desai (Labour) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 22 June 2011. It occurred during Debate on House of Lords: Reform.


House of Lords: Reform

I am saying that any proposal to have an elected House involves abolishing this House and replacing it with a senate. Whether or not you call that reform does not really matter; it is de facto abolition and we should say so.
