House Of Lords Abolition

EDM number 529 in 2002-03, proposed by George Howarth on 15/01/2003.

That this House expresses its concern that the Joint Committee on House of Lords Reform did not include an option for abolition in its first report; further notes that much of the impetus for House of Lords reform stems from concerns about the effectiveness of the House of Commons; and would support proposals for a unicameral solution coupled with reform of the House of Commons legislative procedures.

This motion has been signed by a total of 109 MPs, 2 of these signatures have been withdrawn.
