PARLIAMENTARY EARLY DAY MOTION
PRIMACY OF THE HOUSE OF COMMONS (13 November 2002)
Motion Details
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.
