House of Lords Reform Bill [HL]

Debate between Lord Wright of Richmond and Baroness Royall of Blaisdon

Friday 21st October 2011 Lords Chamber

[Lord Wright of Richmond]

My Lords, I think it is also the fact that Members of the House of Commons are no longer Members of the House of Commons when the election takes place.

[Baroness Royall of Blaisdon]

My Lords, I fully support my noble friend in his amendment, which is excellent. However, I look forward to hearing the response from the noble Lord, Lord Steel, because, while this is of the utmost importance, I would not wish it to impede the passage of the Bill in any way. As I said, however, I am fully behind my noble friend’s amendment.
