Proceeding contribution from Viscount Thurso (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 7 February 2007. It occurred during Ministerial statement on House of Lords Reform.


House of Lords Reform

May I welcome in general the progress made by the Leader of the House? My preference has always been for a wholly or predominantly elected House, but I would accept a lesser number of elected to make progress. Does he agree that the critical issue is to get the mechanics of the election right, and particularly to have regionally-biased constituencies to complement the population bias of this House?
