Debate
House of Lords (Hereditary Peers) BillContribution
We will debate age limits in another group but, just to give an example, the age limit of 80 has, as we know, been floated and then sunk with the realisation that it would hole “Good Ship Labour” below the waterline by culling them disproportionately. Besides, such an idea was always open to the charge of ageism, which my amendment for a 15-year term is not.
