Lord Collins of Highbury (Lab)

Speaking in the House of Lords on 1 April 2025

Debate

House of Lords (Hereditary Peers) Bill

Contribution

I thought I had commented on it at the beginning. The simple fact is that the idea that you do not do anything until you do everything is not acceptable. It has not worked. We have introduced a staged process of reform. This is the first part of that reform—clearly stated in our manifesto—and we will move on to other aspects of our manifesto commitment in consultation with Members of this House. I ask that the Member withdraws the amendment.
