Lord Blencathra (Con)

Speaking in the House of Lords on 10 March 2025

Debate

House of Lords (Hereditary Peers) Bill

Contribution

My Lords, I did not intend to respond at length, or indeed to respond at all to the debate. It has been a thorough debate—two hours and 10 minutes. I raised the point about the problems we would have in this House if we concentrated only on form, rather than on function. That point has been eloquently made by all sides. I have no intention of summarising the debate any further. I beg leave to withdraw the amendment.
