House of Lords Reform

Proceeding contribution from Tom Levitt (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 6 March 2007. It occurred during Debate on House of Lords Reform.
On the 15-year term, does my hon. Friend accept that Members of the House of Commons become accountable only when we are first elected, and are held to account only when we put ourselves up for re-election? If someone is in office for 15 years and cannot be re-elected, how can they be held to account?
