The joint committee on Lords reform has been welcomed but is it flawed?
Creating a largely or wholly elected second chamber will be the most long drawn-out and bitterly fought legislation of this parliament. So there has been a widespread welcome for the creation of a Joint Committee of both Houses to consider the draft House of Lords Reform Bill. This is just the type of pre-legislative scrutiny which reformers have been urging for years. Unfortunately, on this occasion, the process looks deeply flawed.
