Proceeding contribution from Viscount Astor (Conservative) 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]
The House debated the matter. It did not make any binding decision, therefore it is perfectly open to my noble friend Lord Trefgarne to move his amendment. All I have to say is that I took my seat in your Lordships' House shortly after my 21st birthday, so I have never voted in a general election, but it seems to me perfectly fair that in order to sit here, I should be disbarred from doing so. I am perfectly happy with the arrangements as they are.
