Proceeding contribution from Gavin Shuker (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)

I welcome the broad thrust of the Deputy Prime Minister's statement, the draft Bill and the White Paper, but ask politely whether the only 80:20 split that is of any significance to the success of this legislation is the 80:20 split on the Benches behind him, with 80% against his proposals and 20% in favour.
