Proceeding contribution from Lord True (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 1 May 2012. It occurred during Debate on select committee report on Draft House of Lords Reform Bill.
Draft House of Lords Reform Bill
My Lords, it is avoided precisely by the concept of the long mandate, which is non-renewable and with no right to go on to the House of Commons. That means that someone coming here would not be able to develop a political career and go forward to be a senior Minister of the Crown.
