No ruling has been given on hybridity by the other place and I would strongly urge this House not to regard itself as bound by the other place, which looks at constitutional issues in an entirely different way from us. The matter was never considered by the House of Commons. If this House were to say, ““Once the House of Commons has not considered it, we are not to consider it””, that would be a fundamental abdication of our position.
