House of Lords (Hereditary Peers) BillContribution
We have been and will be talking on other amendments about attendance and criteria of participation and that this will mean that people who have other responsibilities cannot be here. As I said on the Bill of the noble Lord, Lord Norton of Louth, we have a wonderful comprehensive school teacher who contributes, but he lives in Hackney. If he lived in Middlesbrough or Burnley, it would be a bit more difficult for him to be here. We need to think about intersectionality when we think about diversity, and that will mean thinking very hard about our procedures and systems in a way that we have not done before.
