House of Lords: Membership

Lord Tyler Excerpts

Tuesday 21st April 2020 Lords Chamber

[The Lord Speaker (Lord Fowler)]

I think we can take it that the noble Baroness, Lady Taylor of Bolton, is not there, so I call the noble Lord, Lord Tyler.

[Lord Tyler (LD)]

My Lords, this requires a simple yes or no. For clarity, can the Minister tell us whether the present Prime Minister has committed himself to the same self-restraint as of his predecessor in relation to the Burns committee recommendations?

[Lord True]

My Lords, I do not usually respond when a pistol is put to my head, but I have already told the House that some new Members are essential, always, to keep the expertise and outlook of the House fresh.
