I accept the first point, but not the second. Because of the debate about these issues and because the precise questions are different in different polling data, there is an issue concerning public support that needs to be addressed. That is a major part of the proposal, and my hon. Friend is right to raise it. Lord Strathclyde’s second point was narrow, but important. It is; is there"““a good deal of public support””"
for the House of Lords to overturn the elected House consistently on these matters? I contend that there is not.
