HOUSE OF LORDS REFORM

Early day motion 789, tabled 31 January 2007 by David Chaytor (Labour). Signed by 79 members.

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.

Signatures by party: Labour 35, Liberal Democrat 30, Conservative 9, Plaid Cymru 2, Independent 1, Scottish National Party 1, Social Democratic and Labour Party 1.
