Speaking in the House of Lords on 25 March 2025

Debate

House of Lords (Hereditary Peers) Bill

Contribution

Finally, I turn to the podcast, of which I am an avid listener, that the noble and learned Lord, Lord Falconer of Thoroton, shares with the noble Baroness, Lady Kennedy of The Shaws. It is a great podcast called “Law and Disorder”, though it not always entirely clear to me which of them is occupying which of those titles. The noble Baroness, Lady Kennedy, agreed on a recent podcast with my position that the loss of the Lord Chancellor from this House was to be regretted, and the omission or absence of the Lord Chancellor from the centre of government, as the position then was, is something to be regretted and reconsidered. I suggest to the Committee that any point on which the noble Baroness, Lady Kennedy of The Shaws, and I agree must surely be right: there is no greater example of a point commanding widespread support than that.
