Since when has a lack of a majority here stopped the Government getting their legislation through? Between 2005 and 2010, the Labour Government suffered 175 defeats in the House of Lords. The Conservative Government of 2019 to 2024 suffered 410 defeats. Yet, for all those defeats, I do not recall any major Bill in the Labour or Conservative manifestos being completely blocked or sabotaged by Lords action—by the Opposition action, whether Conservative or Labour.
