Recall of MPs Bill

Debate between Lord Swinfen and Lord Tyler

Monday 19th January 2015 Lords Chamber

[Lord Swinfen (Con)]

My Lords, the noble Baroness, Lady Corston, mentioned that in her erstwhile constituency some people might have to take two buses to get to the polling station. In many rural areas and hamlets there is often only one bus out and one back. In some places, there are only a couple of buses a week in each direction. I am therefore a strong supporter of the amendment.

[Lord Tyler]

In my village there is one bus every week—in the wrong direction.
