House of Lords: Reform

Lord Jones of Birmingham Excerpts

Monday 5th July 2010 Lords Chamber

[Lord McNally]

I am sure that the Leader of the Opposition would honour what has been set out by the committee. This is a drafting committee and we are working with due speed to produce a draft, which will then give the opportunity for the real work that Lords reform requires. I think that the House is getting overexcited about this. We are receiving advice and written submissions and we are working hard to be able to give the House what I have described before as a bone for it to chew on. I think that that is the best way forward for Lords reform.

[Lord Jones of Birmingham]

My Lords—

[Noble Lords]

Time.
