Proceeding contribution from Lord Higgins (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 22 June 2011. It occurred during Debate on House of Lords: Reform.
House of Lords: Reform
In fact, the White Paper comes up with the very strange proposition that the figure should be around 300 or so because that is the average attendance in this House. However, this assumes that the average attendance covers all the same people, which is absolute rubbish. People come depending on their expertise in a particular debate. We need more than that number in order to get the coverage.
