Proceeding contribution from Lord Stirrup (Crossbench) 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
Before the noble Lord sits down, perhaps he can help me on one extremely important point. I think that he referred to the most important element or principle of democracy as the right of the people to elect those who represent them. Rather, is it not the right of the people to remove those who represent them—something for which I believe there is no provision in this Bill?
