Conduct Of Lord Jay And The Lords Appointment Committee

EDM number 1804 in 2008-09, proposed by Ken Purchase on 02/07/2009.
Categorised under the topics of House of Lords and Speaker.

That this House is dismayed by the report in the Guardian newspaper that the Noble Lord Jay, Chairman of the Lords Appointment Committee, has written to the Prime Minister warning that the elevation of former Speaker Martin to the House of Lords would diminish the Upper House; and calls on the Noble Lord to withdraw without reservation such a disgraceful and spiteful slur on Speaker Martin who served this House so well as an elected member with great integrity, charm and good temper.

This motion has been signed by a total of 33 MPs.
