Fixed-term Parliaments Bill

Proceeding contribution from Lord Cormack (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 15 March 2011. It occurred during Debate on bills on Fixed-term Parliaments Bill.
I am extremely grateful to the noble Lord, but when he read out the list of issues which could be subject to a referendum he mentioned the abolition of the monarchy and the abolition of either House. Does he not accept that, if your Lordships’ House is replaced by a different second Chamber, wholly elected, it has to be abolished first? Therefore, surely there is no logic at all in saying there should not be a referendum on that issue.
