Proceeding contribution from Oliver Heald (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 27 June 2011. It occurred during Debate on House of Lords Reform.


House of Lords Reform

It might have been, but I think it unlikely. I am not going to give the hon. Gentleman the credit because he mentioned 1997—or perhaps I did. What was I thinking? It was a terrible year. I think that the Committee will do useful work. There are a lot of options to be considered, and I think we should show respect for the work of the other place, and the fact that it does an excellent job and has saved us when we needed it.
