Proceeding contribution from Baroness O'Loan (Crossbench) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 20 December 2011. It occurred during Debate on select committee report on House Committee.


House Committee

My Lords, I will make two brief points. First, I support the analysis of the noble Lord, Lord Pannick, of the impact of the report of the House Committee in this case. Secondly, this House is funded by the public purse and our ongoing membership of this House costs the public purse. That is relevant to this debate and the situation in which we find ourselves. It is a matter of the integrity and credibility of the House. We need to consider all factors. It is not a matter of personality; it is a matter of fairness.
