House of Lords Reform Bill [HL]

Debate between Lord Cobbold and Lord St John of Fawsley

Friday 21st October 2011 Lords Chamber

[Lord Cobbold]

An alternative, my Lords, is to have a fixed period of service for all Members of the House. That would allow people to give of their great experience and later on to live longer lives.

[Lord St John of Fawsley]

My Lords, may I put this question to your Lordships? Who is the wisest person in this House? In my opinion, it is the noble Lord, Lord Carrington, who is 92.
