House of Lords Reform

Proceeding contribution from Martin Vickers (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 14 January 2016. It occurred during Backbench debate on House of Lords Reform.

Humanism has always seemed to me to be the absence of faith. We could debate the hon. Gentleman’s rather philosophical point endlessly, and I would be very happy to do so some time.

The hon. Member for West Dunbartonshire referred to a unicameral system. It would be a mistake to move to a system with only one Chamber. However, I would point out that, with devolution, Scotland is almost a unicameral Assembly; I will leave that matter to Scottish National party Members.
