House Of Lords Reform

EDM number 789 in 2006-07, proposed by David Chaytor on 31/01/2007.

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.

This motion has been signed by a total of 81 MPs, 2 of these signatures have been withdrawn.
