Lord Strathclyde
My Lords, all things are possible but that is not part of the Government’s proposals.
Baroness Royall of Blaisdon
My Lords, can the Leader tell the House whether the Government will continue to pursue the coalition agreement until 2015, which is the date when it is reported that he believes the changes will be in place? The agreement states:
“Lords appointments will be made with the objective of creating a second chamber that is reflective of the share of the vote secured by the political parties in the last general election”—
that is, 86 more Conservative Peers and 99 more Liberal Democrat Peers.
Lord Strathclyde
My Lords, over time, we shall certainly wish to produce what is in the coalition agreement.
