Lord True (Con)
My Lords, this goes wider than the Bill. That is the second or third time that we have heard the doctrine that this House must never propose or suggest anything that the other House might disagree with. This is the revising Chamber and, even if we fear that the House of Commons might disagree with what we propose, in our wisdom we have every right, on every Bill, to ask the House of Commons to think again.
Baroness Smith of Basildon (Lab)
I do not disagree with the noble Lord, but I remember him saying the opposite from this Dispatch Box.
