Constitutional Reform Bill [Lords] — 16 Mar 2005 at 19:45

I beg to move, That this House does not insist on its amendments Nos. 1, 2, 264, 265 and 593, and beg to move amendments (a) to (e) in lieu thereof.

Despite the clear decision taken by this House a few weeks ago in February, the House of Lords has yet again insisted that the newly reformed office of Lord Chancellor must for ever be a peer, and must for ever be a lawyer with 12 years' service or a High Court judge with at least two years' service.

Question put, That the amendments be made.

The House divided: Ayes 256, Noes 109.
