The House met for the first time at 10.00am, to consider the 2nd Reading of David Steel's private members bill on the House of Lords.

There was a wide range of views expressed - from some illustrious contributors, who included Lord Richard; Baroness Boothroyd; Lord Norton and the debate was responded to by the Minister for Justice, Lord Hunt of Kings Heath.
The House adjourned at 2.25pm.
