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


House of Lords: Reform

Does the noble Baroness, Lady Brinton, agree that the difference is that MEPs are elected to handle issues falling under the jurisdiction of the EU? In the case of the Lords and the Commons—or in the future, elected Lords and the Commons—the jurisdiction will be the same, and the issues will be the same. Therefore, there would be the conflict which I drew attention to.
