Commons doesn't 'need the competition' of a second elected chamber says Sir Lindsay Hoyle, following calls from Labour to reform the peerage system.
Speaking on Tonight with Andrew Marr, Hoyle said he disagreed with the proposals tabled by Labour calling for the abolition of the House of Lords and reforms to the peerage system.
“What I would say is the second chamber has been very, very useful to the House of Commons. It’s been refining the business, getting the bills tidied up and sending them back in good order.”“I don’t want competition – who’s got supremacy?” “The House of Commons is what people recognise as the senior house, we don’t want any arm struggles. We want very distinct powers separated… but not via an election.”
“If you think, three Prime Ministers within three months – nobody would have envisaged it. But also the fact we’ve now got three ex-Prime Ministers and a Prime Minister that can all be sitting in the house at the same time… I never thought I’d face anything like this.”
