New clause 20, in my name, would allow us to call the Bill out for what it is. We would like the Government’s failure to bring forward a proper plan for House of Lords reform, as promised in their manifesto, to be recorded in black and white as part of the Bill. We would like the Bill’s true purpose—to enable, for the first time, all Lords Temporal to be appointed by the Prime Minister—to be placed on the face of the Bill.
