First Reading
A Bill to establish a framework for the Secretary of State to consult stakeholders on the replacement of the House of Lords with an alternative second chamber.
The Question is that this Bill be now read a first time. As many as are of that opinion will say content, and the contrary not content.
Noble Lords
Not content!
My Lords, the Companion is clear that First Readings are agreed without dissent. Therefore, I say the contents have it.
The Bill was introduced by Baroness Smith of Llanfaes, read a first time and ordered to be printed.
