Debate

House of Lords (Hereditary Peers) Bill

Contribution

I look forward to hearing the case for Amendments 81 and 85 in due course. This Bill does not go far enough, and we must ensure that there is a firm commitment to further reform. My Amendment 71 does just that—and perhaps even passes the “sensible and limited” test previously referenced by the noble Lord, Lord True. Therefore, I urge His Majesty’s Government to be transparent and brave with their plans to reform this House. I hope they see this as a reasonable amendment that helps us get to the end of the Bill. I beg to move.
