House of Lords Bill [HL]

I will tell my noble friend Lord Dubs what the point of all this is. In a marvellous scene in George Bernard Shaw’s "Man and Superman"—the Don Juan in Hell sequence—the old man says to the young man who has just arrived that, ""instead of merely killing time we have to kill eternity"." We are here because every year we have a Bill and we debate it; and we shall go on debating it until we get something better, which I hope will be very soon.
