Proceeding contribution from Chris Huhne (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 10 July 2012. It occurred during Debate on bill on House of Lords Reform Bill.
House of Lords Reform Bill
The hon. Gentleman surely avoids a key point, which is that the previous, Labour Government faced an inbuilt Conservative majority in the Lords and tried to compensate for that. The coalition Government then wanted to deal with an equivalent imbalance against them, and the situation is unsustainable. We will go on expanding unless reform is dealt with.
