The Leader gave a wonderfully clever speech in her opening remarks. We have been sold a wonderful pup with this special Lords Select Committee, which will report on a range of things. The three crucial things that the House was interested in when we dealt with these amendments were: a retirement age of some sort, dealing with non-attendance and—this is a trickier one that there was some support for—Peers who do not participate. The Lords Select Committee will report on a wide range of things, with probably up to 20 recommendations. Do we seriously think that any Government will implement the recommendations of the Lords Select Committee?
