PARLIAMENTARY EARLY DAY MOTION
HOUSE OF LORDS REFORM (31 January 2007)
Motion Details
That this House welcomes the Government's commitment to a free vote on the composition of Parliament's revising chamber; believes that the House of Lords should be replaced by a chamber which is wholly or predominantly elected; notes that this idea has been supported by leading members of both Houses of Parliament; and therefore calls on all hon. Members to vote to achieve that result at the appropriate time.
