Motion Text

That this House expresses its concern that the House of Lords is having to take on more and more of the work of scrutiny of Bills now that the Government refuses through its guillotining of Bills to give the necessary time to do it in this House; and calls on the Government not to seek to reduce the powers of the House of Lords, but instead to give adequate time for debate in this House.
