House of Lords (Hereditary Peers) BillContribution
Of course, our Lord Speaker gives precedence to Mr Speaker, but that would have to change. The speaker of an elected upper House would inevitably have superior status to the Speaker of an elected lower House. The names are res ipsa loquitur. All the items in my amendment are things that fanatical advocates of an elected House deliberately do not talk about because if they are properly considered the public will reject them, as the Commons would.
