House of Lords Reform

Proceeding contribution from Chris Bryant (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 6 March 2007. It occurred during Debate on House of Lords Reform.
I sympathise with some of the right hon. Lady’s arguments, which is why I would prefer either an 80 per cent. elected upper House or a fully elected second Chamber. May I return to her argument about how important it is that the Lords should be able to challenge the Government? I hope that she wishes to resile from that position a little bit, as it is important for the primacy of the Commons that it is the only House that can hold a vote of no confidence in the Government, and that the second Chamber cannot do so.
