Life Peerages Debate Opens With Amendments
In the House of Lords, Lord Carrington outlines amendments to the Life Peerages Bill aimed at ensuring merit and discretion guide new peerages. He argues for cautious beginnings, limiting life peerages to exceptional service or office, while criticizing wider recitals and inflated creation rates. Lords Carnarvon and Cairns press for care to keep balance with hereditary peers and avoid unintended expansion.
