The House of Lords:
Hello everyone. Following this thread where I asked for feedback and this thread where I prompted people to suggest improvements that can be made to the House of Lords myself and my (very wonderful) speakership team has determined that we shall do the following:
- Introduce Topic Debates: a monthly topic debate that will be much broader than the previous ones tried in the Commons. These would be open to any relevant Cabinet members, and should that be deemed to be workable then it will be opened to relevant Shadow Cabinet members. For example, there could be a Topic Debate on the Artificial Intelligence with Lords being debate as normal, and the Secretary of State for Growth, Business, and Trade, the Secretary of State for Space, Science, Research, and Innovation, the Secretary of State for Work and Welfare, and the Secretary of State for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport being invited to join the debate should they want to.
- Do not ban Lords from interacting in the Commons: message heard loud and clear, I wasn't aware that it was tried (and had failed) before, and so it won't be explored any further.
- Don't Abolish the Lord Speaker as Quad: I won't lie I was (pleasantly) surprised that this idea was shot down as fiercely as it was. My justification was in the thread itself, but given how many people advocated against it the position of Lord Speaker shall remain in the Quad.
The Committee System:
Following some conversations, I have decided to open up a review of the Committee System and see where we can improve, overhaul, and reform it to make it more fun and engaging. To achieve this, I am going to gather a group of people with experience with the system - a Committee on the Committees System, if you will. Therefore I am calling for volunteers who have experience, be it as a person engaging with the system or as a person who managed it, and ideas on how we can improve the system.
Thanks everyone!
