Statement

On 23 March I set up a Leader's Group chaired by Baroness Shephard of Northwold to consider governance arrangements in the House of Lords. I have today published their report, ​a copy of which is attached. ​Hard copies of ​the report​ are available from the Printed Paper Office as HL Paper 81.

I am grateful to the members of the group for their work on this important subject. I will reflect carefully on the the report’s conclusions and lead discussions on the way forward in response.
