Speaking in the House of Lords on 2 July 2025

Debate

House of Lords (Hereditary Peers) Bill

Contribution

I turn to the amendment in the name of the noble Duke, having commented earlier on the comments of my noble friend Lord Howard of Lympne and others. The reality is that the great question in the air is: will it happen? We have lived with the great assertion, “We will do this one thing—get rid of all these people, get those out—and then we will think about what might follow, maybe”. I am not disparaging the good intent of those involved but let us consider the realities of the matter.
