House of Lords (Hereditary Peers) BillContribution
I go back to the point I was making about the link now being broken, if this Bill passes and we get rid of all hereditary Peers, with the hereditary principle. This is the critical thing about the monarchy. The monarchy is hereditary, and having hereditary Peers in your Lordships’ House gives a link between the hereditary principle and the monarchy. This is something that we should certainly value.
