Speaking in the House of Lords on 10 March 2025

Debate

House of Lords (Hereditary Peers) Bill

Contribution

I have two brief points. Amendment 46 would extend the eligibility criteria for members of HOLAC to party-political groups not otherwise identified in the noble Earl’s table. I have in mind Members of this House affiliated to the DUP or, as may happen at some time in the future, Members affiliated to the SNP, Sinn Féin or Reform. They clearly should not be excluded from eligibility for HOLAC.
