House of Lords (Hereditary Peers) BillContribution
The noble Lord, Lord Brady, objected to the possibility of a party list on the basis that it would bring about more patronage. I am afraid that that is impossible, because we have 100% patronage now for the party-political Peers. Whatever system of PR you have, the degree of patronage would be reduced.
