Proceeding contribution from Lord Tyler (Liberal Democrat) 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 can help the noble Lord with a little bit of information. The two options of 80:20 or 100 per cent have been placed before Parliament because that is what the House of Commons voted for. I pay tribute to the noble Lord for introducing such an interesting contribution at a quarter to midnight. The reason why it is a fudge is because the House of Commons voted for a fudge.
