House of Lords (Hereditary Peers) BillContribution
The visible separation of the legislature and judiciary is, in the Government’s view, constitutionally important. It puts beyond doubt the independence of the court from politics and is a principle that was settled in the 2005 Act, which, with the greatest respect to the noble Lord, Lord Wolfson, was not a mess but, rather, represented a move towards modern constitutional orthodoxy.
