“What discussions she has had with Cabinet colleagues on the compatibility of the Illegal Migration Bill with the Council of Europe Convention on Action against Trafficking in Human Beings.”
Answering Minister
the Attorney General
Answer from Hansard
The Paymaster General and Minister for the Cabinet Office (Nick Thomas-Symonds)
I thank my hon. Friend for his innovative suggestion. He rightly points out that following the passage of the House of Lords (Hereditary Peers) Bill, the Opposition will remain the largest party in the other place. That Bill, which we are keen to see on the statute book as soon as possible, is the first step in Lords reform. The Government set out in our manifesto a number of proposals to bring about a smaller, more active second Chamber that better reflects the country it serves.
