I will comment on some of the comments that were made about Amendment 90D. I say to the noble Lord, Lord Newby, that his party’s dedication and commitment to an elected second Chamber has been known for many years. He may well be right that it would create more diversity. It certainly would give more geographical balance. I do not really accept that castles, as the noble Earl, Lord Attlee, said, make for the best geographical balance the House of Lords could have. I am sure he did not mean for that to be taken seriously.
