HC Deb 28 November 1933 vol 283 c686
46. Mr. STOURTON

asked the Prime Minister if it is the intention to introduce legislation to reform the powers and personnel of the House of Lords during the life of the present Parliament?

The PRIME MINISTER

I would refer ray hon. Friend to the speech on this subject made by my right hon. Friend the Lord President of the Council on 23rd November.

Mr. STOURTON

Does the right hon. Gentleman realise the danger of continued delay; and is he aware that in two years a Socialist Government could abolish the House of Lords altogether under the Parliament Act?
