Debate

House of Lords (Hereditary Peers) Bill

Contribution

None of the amendments is going to end up in this Bill. They are for the future. I would be very surprised if the Leader of the House accepts any of those amendments, because they really have nothing to do with this Bill. The Leader will be right to resist them, and she has done so already. We are luxuriating ourselves about the future and giving amazing speeches. Some of them are pretty difficult to hear. Others are unbelievably hurtful. Others, I do not know whether they should be backed.
