Proceeding contribution from Lord Steel of Aikwood (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Lords on Friday, 10 February 2012. It occurred during Debate on bill on House of Lords Reform Bill [HL].


House of Lords Reform Bill [HL]

Perhaps I may add that I discussed this matter with the Deputy Prime Minister some time ago, and the last time we did so he agreed to look at it again in the new year. Once the Bill has had its Report and Third Reading, we will know exactly what is in it and what is not, and I will propose a further discussion with him. I am well aware of the difficulty of former party leaders telling current party leaders what to do, but I will do my best.
