Question to the Cabinet Office:
To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, what steps the Government plans to take to reduce the size of the House of Lords.
This question was answered on 9th May 2016
Given the very large and urgent list of other constitutional reforms currently underway, it’s hard to justify giving Lords reform a higher priority than other manifesto promises. We will continue to consider steps that are able to command support from all sides of the House. The Leader of the House of Lords has convened cross-party talks to discuss these issues, and those talks continue.
