Speaking in the House of Lords on 1 April 2025

Debate

House of Lords (Hereditary Peers) Bill

Contribution

The amendment is important because if, at a future date, there are no hereditary Peers in your Lordships’ House, it would make sense for this House not to be involved in determining peerage claims. Equally, however, we need a clear and comprehensive system and method to determine those claims. I suggest that that is best done in the Bill. For those reasons, I beg to move.
