House of Lords Reform

Asked how the Prime Minister would vote this afternoon, the PMOS replied that the Prime Minister would vote at some point, but that he was sorry to be old fashioned and asked that the journalists waited.

Asked if the Prime Minister had given up on his position of an all-appointed House of Lords, the PMOS said that the Prime Minister believed that the Government’s manifesto at the election was to try and seek a consensus in Parliament on this issue. As the PMOS had said at the time when the White Paper was published, the Prime Minister supported the Leader of the House in his efforts to reach that consensus. How that was interpreted in terms of the actual vote, people would have to wait and see.
