3.20 p.m.

Lord Pearson of Rannoch

I beg to move that an humble Address be presented to Her Majesty praying that Her Majesty may be graciously pleased to allow that her undoubted prerogative and interest may not stand in the way of the consideration by Parliament during the present Session of any measure to amend the composition of the House of Lords by providing for the election to that House of holders of hereditary Peerages from an electoral college consisting of Peers and of certain other Lords; and for connected purposes.

On Question, Motion agreed to.
