We really ought not to mix up this Bill with other problems just because some people do not like the hereditary Peers being thrown out. We can discuss that, but we really ought not to mix it up because the Government ought to be allowed to think of how to reduce numbers and come to us with a good Bill, and then we shall discuss it. Right now, this arbitrary 15-year term or an age limit of 80, 85 or 90 years will not do. We ought to think again.
