House Of Lords Reform (EDM279)

House Of Lords Reform

EDM number 279 in 2003-04, proposed by John Barrett on 15/12/2003.

That this House notes the House of Lords Reform Bill which will abolish the remaining 92 hereditary peers leaving a fully appointed House of Lords; notes that the Government's main argument for not progressing with a substantially or wholly elected House of Lords is because of a lack of consensus, shown by the Commons divisions of 4th February; further notes that if the House of Lords Reform Bill receives Royal Assent, it will produce a House of Lords which was rejected by the House of Commons by 323 votes to 245, but that the option of having an 80 per cent. elected / 20 per cent. appointed House of Lords was rejected by only 284 to 281; believes there is clearly a greater consensus for an 80 per cent. elected second chamber than a wholly appointed House of Lords; and therefore calls on the Government to proceed with reforming the upper House on this basis in line with its manifesto commitment.

This motion has been signed by a total of 68 MPs.
