Proceeding contribution from Lord Grocott (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 knew that in the first five minutes of his speech the Minister would be Mr Nice. He has now turned inevitably to the Mr Nasty phase. He needs to explain to the House that if the new, elected second Chamber were to have essentially the same powers and functions as the present one, as his own White Paper and draft Bill say, how on earth could this Chamber veto absolutely crucial matters that would be determined by the primary House?
