“It is quite clear from what has been said and written that, time after time after time, there has been a conspiracy between the Conservative Front Bench in this House and the inbuilt Conservative majority in the House of Lords to defeat legislation that has passed through the House of Commons... I warn the House of Lords of the consequences... it is our strong view that the House of Lords should recall that its role is not that of a wrecking chamber, but of a revising chamber. In recent weeks, it has been wrecking legislation passed by this House.” ShouldHas BeensSaidHouseStrongViewsLordRolesClearWrittenWeekFrontsConsequenceMajorityDefeatConservativeConspiracyRecallsLegislationChamberBenchesHouse Of CommonsRevisingHouse Of Lords Author:James Callaghan
