House of Lords Reform

Proceeding contribution from David Howarth (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 6 March 2007. It occurred during Debate on House of Lords Reform.
Does the right hon. Lady agree that the mandate idea—the idea that electors read party manifestos, and that is how we get here—is entirely fictional, and that the essence of the supremacy and primacy of this place is its power to make and break Governments? Nobody is challenging primacy in that sense.
