Composition Of A Reformed House Of Lords

EDM number 1276 in 2001-02, proposed by David Clelland on 10/05/2002.

That this House believes that the important and necessary reform of the House of Lords will be best served by a period of reflection on precisely what powers and responsibilities the second chamber should have, before deciding how its members should be selected; and further believes that the United Kingdom's hard fought for democracy is well protected by the election of honourable Members, members of devolved assemblies, elected mayors and councillors and would be neither enhanced by an elected second chamber nor eroded by the creation of a second chamber constituted in a different way to the House of Commons.

This motion has been signed by a total of 18 MPs.
