Sir John Hayes

Conservative — South Holland and The Deepings

Speaking in the House of Commons on 20 October 2026

Debate

House of Lords Reform

Contribution

I shall call the Front Benchers from 5.10 pm. As you can see, a lot of people are standing, which gives you a feel for how long you have got. So, it is three or four minutes each, I am afraid.
