Speaking in the House of Lords on 1 April 2025

Debate

House of Lords (Hereditary Peers) Bill

Contribution

Of course, what it means is ping-pong, which is inconvenient for Ministers and a bit boring, but at the end of the day, the Government always get their way, and rightly so—just as it is right that they have to work a bit harder for it. Thus, I suggest that throwing out some of our hard-working Peers at the end of this Session is vindictive and politically unnecessary for the Government to get their business through. We should have the decency to let them serve out this Parliament.
