Parliamentary Voting System and Constituencies Bill

It is not that I have to apologise but that the noble Lord raised the question of the guillotine during our debate. He may wriggle around as much as he likes, or go to the Library and check the historical record, but he introduced that element. There are those of us who believe that, unlike the noble Lord, Lord Strathclyde, who has a lot to lose by introducing a guillotine—his reputation, as he does not want to be the first Leader of the House of Lords to introduce a guillotine on a constitution Bill—the noble Lord, Lord McNally, might entertain it in certain conditions.
