Scottish National Party — Arbroath and Broughty Ferry

Speaking in the House of Commons on 4 February 2026

Debate

Lord Mandelson

Contribution

I have raised the point about the Prime Minister, but there is a broader point here. Lord Mandelson was appointed to the Lords. For 115 years, Labour has been promising to get rid of the Lords. The Conservatives and other parties have appointed people to the Lords who we should be getting rid of. Please—is now not the time to take the opportunity to scrap the Lords?
