Lord Mancroft: My Lords, I, too, would like to congratulate my noble friend on chairing the committee and so ably opening the debate.

Lord Mancroft: My Lords, I am delighted to join many noble Lords in congratulating the noble Lord, Lord Burns, and his committee on their report.

House of Lords (Hereditary Peers) (Abolition of By-Elections) Bill [HL] - Second Reading ( 8 Sep 2017)

Lord Mancroft: My Lords, I was not displaying nostalgia; I was reflecting upon the very real fact that the nature of the way the hereditary Peers operated was that, because they were hereditary, they had a degree of independence which was extremely desirable. I was reflecting on that point and it is not a nostalgic one at all. The fact is that the composition of this House today has by its very nature lost...

House of Lords (Hereditary Peers) (Abolition of By-Elections) Bill [HL] - Second Reading ( 8 Sep 2017)

Lord Mancroft: My Lords, there are two main premises to this Bill. The first is that the hereditary Peers’ by-election is a ludicrous and, to some, embarrassing measure that is past its sell-by date, and the second is that this is one small piece of incremental reform that your Lordships can enact without too much fuss, to modernise the House, and show the world how relevant we are. It is true that the...

House of Lords (Hereditary Peers) (Abolition of By-Elections) Bill [HL] - Second Reading ( 8 Sep 2017)

Lord Mancroft: My Lords, I do not wish to get involved in that debate. The one initiated by the noble Lord, Lord Grocott, is much more interesting.

Lord Mancroft: My Lords, does my noble friend share my confusion that the noble Baroness and her friends are so interested in the law, its application and the political debate, but apparently show absolutely no interest in the welfare of the quarry species that was supposedly the object of this Act? Does she share my concern that since the ban, the latest research by both the British Trust for Ornithology...
