For what specific reason are the Government blocking Lord Grocott’s Bill to end the ludicrous elections to hereditary peerages?
- Answer
-
As I have stated, the Government are absolutely committed to ensuring we go forward with consensus in the House of Lords on the reform and size of that House. The debate, which I have outlined already, demonstrated that there was a consensus, and the Leader of the House of Lords is working to established that Committee, as I have said. That is the Government’s approach.
