Parliamentary Voting System and Constituencies Bill

My Lords, I listened carefully to the noble Lord, Lord Low. Finger-waving and dismissing a whole group of people on the basis of an argument with one or two people does not assist the impression given by this House anywhere. I can only interpret the words of the noble Lord, Lord McNally, as being a threat to the House. Over a long period, there have been Bills that have incensed Members of this House into making long speeches. I recall the behaviour of the noble Lord, Lord McNally, during the passage of the legislation for the reform of your Lordships' House.
