House of Lords (Hereditary Peers) BillContribution
The only amendment that we need on Report—this is where I disagree with my noble friend Lord Moylan—is a simple one which says something like, “Whenever the House of Lords passes a resolution relating to retirement ages, participation or attendance, the Government shall bring forward regulations and lay them before both Houses of Parliament”. That gives this House six months, 12 months, 10 years, to figure out the details of retirement and participation and then pass a resolution which will be laid before both Houses in a regulation by the Government. That is all we need—no new legislation, just to build that tiny power into the Bill.
