House of Lords (Hereditary Peers) BillContribution
The third element is the question of numbers. That is not conclusive. The Attlee Government changed Britain while outnumbered here by 10:1. You cannot build a majority here by appointments alone, as the last Parliament showed. My colleagues in another place never seem to understand this basic point. I suspect that the Lord Privy Seal may have the same problem.
