Proceeding contribution from Lord Trefgarne (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Friday, 15 March 2019. It occurred during Debate on bill on House of Lords (Hereditary Peers) (Abolition of By-Elections) Bill [HL].


House of Lords (Hereditary Peers) (Abolition of By-Elections) Bill [HL]

My Lords, this amendment is largely self-explanatory but I believe it deals with some of the concerns that have been expressed. Any political party that does not wish to take part in the process of electing hereditary Peers would not have to do so if the amendment were agreed. I beg to move.
