Proceeding contribution from Lord Brennan of Canton (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 17 May 2011. It occurred during Ministerial statement on House of Lords Reform (Draft Bill).
House of Lords Reform (Draft Bill)
As the Deputy Prime Minister headed off towards the high savannah with his bag of fudge, was he at all worried by the sound of tumbleweed blowing behind him as he spoke? Why did he not have the guts to go for a proposal that I believe in, and that he really believes in, which is a 100% elected second Chamber with no prime ministerial cronies and no assisted places scheme for Anglican bishops?
