Speaking in the House of Lords on 3 March 2025

Debate

House of Lords (Hereditary Peers) Bill

Contribution

I just wanted to quickly point that out, because the danger of passing the Bill unmodified is that we have no limitation. I would like to see something go in that says that, within a certain amount of time, limiting or removing the powers of the Prime Minister to appoint people to the Lords must go as part of the rump of us going. That was the deal. I promise you that, if you do not really believe that, you are not democratic.
