Lord True (Con)
My Lords, I certainly agree that striving for commonalities is wise advice to us all.
Lord Grocott (Lab)
My Lords, on constitutional reform, can the Minister confirm that, following the retirement of the Countess of Mar, all Peers among the 92 places reserved for hereditaries are men; that all 21 candidates in today’s by-election for three Conservative hereditaries are men; and that all 10 candidates for the Cross-Bench vacancy are men? Is this not utterly unacceptable? What are the Government going to do about it?
Lord True (Con)
My Lords, the Government will continue to apply the law of the land until the law of the land is changed.
