Hereditary Peers By-election

Baroness Jones of Moulsecoomb Excerpts

Wednesday 20th September 2023 Lords Chamber

[Lord Robathan (Con)]

My Lords, I congratulate the noble Lords, Lord Meston and Lord De Clifford, and hope they contribute well to this House, notwithstanding the excellent and amusing comments of the noble Lord Grocott. I will also say—I am not a hereditary Peer myself—that the hereditary element in this House, elected now in some quaint way, in fact contributes a great deal more than many of us life Peers.

[Baroness Jones of Moulsecoomb (GP)]

The noble Lord ought to speak for himself.
