Primacy Of The House Of Commons
EDM number 56 in 2002-03, proposed by David Clelland on 13/11/2002.
That this House believes that a reformed House of Lords should not be a duplicate of the House of Commons; further believes that the primacy of the elected House of Commons and its special responsibility of representing people must be maintained and that an elected second chamber, however constituted, would inevitably challenge that primacy and lead to bad government; and notes that it is entirely possible to create a representative and accountable second chamber without direct elections.
This motion has been signed by a total of 87 MPs, 3 of these signatures have been withdrawn.
