Speaking in the House of Lords on 3 March 2025

Debate

House of Lords (Hereditary Peers) Bill

Contribution

I agree, of course, with what my noble friend Lord Howard said. I cannot agree that honour can be discarded. I was involved in the discussions, admittedly only at an official level, in 1999. The noble Lord, Lord Grocott, was of course involved as Parliamentary Private Secretary to the Prime Minister at the time, but recollections may vary as to the purport of honour in those discussions.
