The House of Lords and A Fully Elected Second Chamber

Volume 507: debated on Thursday 11 March 2010

The Petition of Mr. Martin Burke of Elizabeth Regina Love,

Declares that it is a peculiar paradox that members of an unelected House of Lords have ensured the survival of a fully elected House of Commons. The petitioner requests that the House of Commons create from itself a new fully elected 2nd chamber and that membership of the House of Lords be opened to persons from the Commonwealth of Nations.

The petitioner requests that the House of Commons bear in mind in its law making the above, and that were the question put the House consent to the request(s) in this Mr. Burke’s 4th petition first emailed to the House on 12 February 2010.

And the Petitioner remains, etc.
