House of Lords (Hereditary Peers) Bill

Contribution

We all know that to a certain extent—I know my noble friend Lord Norton disagrees with this—this amendment arguably arises from one hard case under the premiership of Boris Johnson as Prime Minister in 2020. That is regrettable because, as we know, hard cases are likely to make very bad law.
