House of Lords (Hereditary Peers) BillContribution
In our full and final removal of hereditary succession from this place, let us not turn our backs on what the principle of heredity and family have meant, and must always mean, in our society and every healthy society. It is to create, assist and bequeath to the children who come after them that millions of working families go out each day to strive and toil. It is from good parents that millions of young people across the generations learn their skills and values. Heredity is part of who we are and what we strive to be.
