I mean to offend nobody, as it applies to all parties, whatever their talents, when I say that I know quite frankly that the general lack of interest of colleagues in another place in this great House and their lack of understanding of its workings are enormous. I also know how hard it is to secure legislative time to address issues relating to this House, however warranted and popular they may be in this House or outside. I agree with and remember my noble friend’s description of the uphill struggle in PBL to get legislation that one might want, particularly relating to your Lordships’ House.
