Speaking in the House of Commons on 12 November 2024

Debate

House of Lords (Hereditary Peers) Bill

Contribution

My sensible amendment would deal with that at a stroke: no more cash for honours and no more lists of Tory treasurers being naturally given a place in the House of Lords. My amendment says that if someone has given more than £11,800 to one of the three establishment parties, they are not entitled to a place in the House of Lords. If they have given more than £11,800 in the past to one of the three main UK establishment parties, they naturally give up their place.
