Labour — Sunderland Central

Speaking in the House of Commons on 8 June 2026

Debate

Progression of Bills through Parliament

Contribution

I think the right hon. Member is rather mischaracterising what I said. As I said, and as the Hansard Society says, I think there is a clear constitutional response within our existing settlement. It is not about fundamental Lords reform, though I may be in favour of that; it is about use of the Parliament Act. Does he agree that, if the Commons agrees to this again, using the Parliament Act is entirely appropriate?
