Debate

House of Lords (Hereditary Peers) Bill

Contribution

So we are back in the business of incremental reform, as we have been since 1911. For those who would like to see something more radical, it is frustrating, but that is where we are and where we are likely to be for some time, so it is incremental reform or nothing. My amendment is one element in this incremental reform that could be brought in without jeopardising more ambitious longer-term plans for reform.
