Baroness in Waiting/Government Whip (Baroness Anderson of Stoke-on-Trent) (Lab)
My Lords, the time limit is 10 minutes. If the noble Lord could wind up, I would be ever so grateful.
Lord Moore of Etchingham (Non-Afl)
Forgive me; I end by saying that, if only the Government could apply the wise restraint they show on the matter of the Bishops to the very similar position of the hereditary Peers, they would drop this divisive and unnecessary Bill.
