Speaking in the House of Lords on 1 June 2026

Debate

Devolved Public Services: Funding

Contribution

My Lords, I congratulate the noble Lord on his party’s success in the Senedd elections. I also acknowledge the success of Welsh Labour’s D’Hondt system in achieving the most proportionate result in Senedd elections to date. In contrast, the 2024 UK general election, held under first past the post, saw Labour take 63% of parliamentary seats on a 33.7% vote share. I ask the Minister: when will the rest of the UK catch up with the devolved nations and introduce a fair voting system which reflects the proportion of votes cast?
