Proceeding contribution from Lord Forsyth of Drumlean (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Monday, 30 April 2012. It occurred during Debate on select committee report on Draft House of Lords Reform Bill.


Draft House of Lords Reform Bill

Perhaps I may ask the noble Baroness a question. The coalition agreement provided for the Deputy Prime Minister to establish an all-party group, which would come forward in a Motion, I think from memory, by December 2010. The noble Baroness served on that group. My noble friend Lord Strathclyde in his remarks implied that the draft Bill, which has been considered, was somehow connected with the deliberations of that group. Will the noble Baroness tell us what happened to the Deputy Prime Minister's committee and how its conclusions are in any way related to this Bill?
