Guardian News published this video item, entitled “‘Who’s got supremacy?’: Commons speaker criticises Labour plan for an elected upper house” – below is their description.
In a rare policy intervention, the speaker of the House of Commons, Lindsay Hoyle, criticised Kier Starmer’s plan to reform the House of Lords by making it an elected body, warning that it could lead to confusion about ultimate power lies. ‘Once you have a second house that’s elected, then you’re into an arm wrestle about who has power,’ Hoyle told LBC in an interview with Andrew Marr on Tuesday. ‘If people want to reform it please do,’ he added, ‘but do not have a second elected house, we don’t need the competition.’
