House of Lords Reform

Proceeding contribution from Jack Straw (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 6 March 2007. It occurred during Debate on House of Lords Reform.
I want to deal with the issue of election. There was no agreement in the cross-party group about the method of election. The Conservatives favoured large, first-past-the-post constituencies on the old European election model and the Liberal Democrats favoured multi-member single transferable vote constituencies. The Government said that we favoured"““a partially open regional list system””." That system was favoured by a majority of the Wakeham royal commission.
