House of Lords Reform Bill

Proceeding contribution from Sadiq Khan (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 9 July 2012. It occurred during Debate on bills on House of Lords Reform Bill.

It is not for me to get involved in private family grief.

It is simply not clear how any dispute about the use of powers or appropriate interpretation of conventions could be adjudicated or effectively enforced? We think the Bill will need to play a more active role in addressing powers and conventions, particularly if we are to placate the legitimate fears of colleagues on all sides and in both Chambers. Failure to do so risks storing up big problems for the future.
