Part of House of Lords Reform Bill [HL] – in the House of Lords at 12:45 pm on 21 October 2011.
My Lords, this is a very simple amendment, which I hope my noble friend will be able to accept. It says:
"A person who ceases to be a member of the House of Lords under section (Retirement age) shall not be disqualified from ... voting at elections to the House of Commons, or ... being, or being elected as, a Member of that House".
I beg to move.
