if the house of commons passes a law which would definitely be agreed by the house of lords, that would make it the law that a government would have to negotiate a customs union, it wouldn'tjust have to negotiate a customs union, it wouldn't just be theresa may having to implement that, it would be whichever conservative leader that follows her. as i said, they would have no choice because it would have no choice because it would be the law. a government delivering something most of its mps do not want to do, is not going to end well. that is what my colleagues need to think about today when they are asked to vote on this very important decision. does that mean a general election becomes a real possibility? i don't think it does in the sense that i don't think conservative mps will vote for a general election, certainly not in the near future, because of the fixed—term parliaments act mps have to vote to have an election. but i don't think it will end well because we don't think it will end well because we would have to support a commitment but it will not end well.

his title, lord constant iron of —— recall his time in lincolnshire club side. this bust of him is on display in the houserait gallery. his award in the new year's honours of 1959 made him the first life peer from trinidad and the second to pay tribute. he was a great cricketer. he was a man of dignity, can you imagine in 1944, he took on a —— top hotel who was being racist towards him and his family, and this was 1944, before the windrush generation came he paved the way for them, he actually made sure that soldiers in the army we re made sure that soldiers in the army were well taken care of because they had to face a lot of racism. he was at it in making sure equality was served. so he was a man, he was a mana served. so he was a man, he was a man a little ahead of his time, what he did do was he embraced other people and he paved the way for the windrush generation, and people like me, and! windrush generation, and people like me, and ifeel proud to be from trinidad and follow in his footsteps. through the round window for those enough to remember her in a past life. alicia mccartney will be going int

50 years ago this week the first black here took his seat in the house of lords. cketer. march 1969, the first black life peer. first an all rounder from trinidad. to mark the 50th anniversary, this bust of him is on display in the house of lords, on loan from the national portrait gallery. he was a man of dignity. in 1944, he took on a top hotel who was being racist towards him and his family, and won the case. that is 1944, before the wind rush generation, he paved the way for the people, the soldiers who worked in the army, he actually make sure that they were well taken care of, he had to face a lot of racism, he was active and making sure that equality was sorry. he was a man perhaps a little ahead at this time, but what he did do is embrace of the people and he paved the way for the wind rushed generation, and for people like me. i felt proud as a trinidadian and also to be following in his footsteps. that is the final innings but this speak in parliaments. alissia mccarthy will be going into that on monday for bbc parliament on the latest by mps attempts to

and with 92 places in the house of lords reserved for hereditaries, that means some daughters of peersextend the succession to the crown act, to include all hereditary titles through a straightforward piece of primary legislation consisting ofjust a few clauses. it would quite simply mean daughters will be treated the same as sons for the purposes of succession, and it seems to me to be a very natural step to take after amending the same principle for the royal family. now, iaccept, mr speaker, that this is not the most important issue facing the country. but that, in my opinion, is no reason not to put right this particular unfairness. some people might look at this as a game of numbers, that this change is needed to get more female hereditary peers into the house of lords, but to be clear, that is definitely not where i am coming from. i refute the notion that any institution should have a particular number of men or women in it, in the pursuit of what i believe is unrepresentative representation by tick box. so, mr speaker, this is not about men versus women. this is about true equa

a conservative mp says the house of lords should follow in the footsteps of the royal family and allowitary peerages and titles pass to the eldest son, rather than the eldest child. and with 92 places in the house of lords reserved for hereditaries, that means some daughters of peers are losing out to their brothers. my bill would seek to extend the succession to the crown act, to include all hereditary titles through a straightforward piece of primary legislation consisted of just a few clauses. it would quite simply mean daughters would be treated the same way as sons for the purposes of succession, and it seems to me to be a very natural step to take after amending the same principal for the royal family. i obviously resist, as a conservative, change for change‘s sake but this is one of the things that both should be, and could be, amended. but his plan was opposed by an snp mp. but it cannot be, in a parliamentary democracy, that we believe that someone whose father, as i said, in the 12th century chopped somebody's heid aff. .. laughter. ..not head, for hansard, but heid — has a p

in the house of lords came a variation of the famous line, when a home office minister realised she wasn'ts was reading out a speech during a debate on a technical aspect of brexit only to discover it was the wrong speech. the instrument makes a number of transitional and savings provisions. i think it's the other instrument. ah. my lords, on the date when you have got three statutory instruments, an urgent question, a question, a speech to the lgbt conference, this is what happens. so i do apologise to the noble lords that i have gotten my speeches, the right speeches in the wrong order. laughter. if that's a fair point to make. oh, dear. a thankless task, sometimes, being a minister. and that brings me to the end of my final stint. it's been great to present the round—up programme over the last 17 years. do please keep watching the day in parliament, brought to you each day by our excellent reporting team. but from me, keith macdougall, for the last time, goodbye. hello there. last week, we were bombarded by deep areas of low pressure, bringing gales and heavy rain, but i'm thankful to s

house of commons a piece of legislation, that piece of legislation is amended in a way that ministers did not wish, and yet ministers are compelled to implement the law that the house in the house of lordsubject tojudicial it is written in the law. they are subject to judicial review and as a matter of fact, we have a prime minister who i have said on many occasions that i do not think her strategy regarding brexit has been entirely suited to the task, but i have never met another human being who is more law—abiding than the prime minister, so i am certain that she will follow the law, notjust to the letter but in the spirit where they are a law which flowed from a majority view in the house of commons. when the government normally has control of the order paper, if the house amended a piece of legislation in a way that the house light, needn't bring the law into effect or the proceedings to make it a law. as one would expect, he is right, but the government often chooses not to do that, it often chooses not to do that, it often has legislation which allows it to go forward because it has a greater objective. as ministers we have had the experience where ministers implement legislation

when the government has done them before, the government did them before and the 2000s on house of lords house of lords reform. it offered mps a series of different propositions and just said vote for the propositions you like. and what happened was mps voted on those propositions and none got a majority. so that might tell us something, it wouldn't necessarily be very helpful where we are now. 0ther be very helpful where we are now. other people have suggested different things, so there was an amendment that ken clarke put forward back in february to one of the many motions that we have had on brexit that he suggested that mps should all be given a ballot paper and should go away and mark their preferences, you know, one, two, three, four, five, six, and it would bea three, four, five, six, and it would be a secret ballot while they did it, so they didn't know, would be able to game how are other options doing, and things like that, in would count the votes and then you would count the votes and then you would publish how everyone voted. so another way of doing it. you could imagine pos

i have also been given a place in the house of lords which is a great honour and i assume i was put therese people thought it would be useful to have my experience in the public debate and it is notjust on the issues of brexit that i offer that opinion. the country is facing such an important moment. i think probably the most serious peacetime crisis since the second world war. quite honsestly, i think opinions of those who have had years and years of public service but are no longer in the government, i think they are entitled to be in the debate. i personally make a point never to attack people. i don't want to get personal about these things but i do have views about the policy and i think the position the country is in makes it important that every view is heard. i'm no more legitimate than anybody else but i think i am no less. am i wrong in remembering that at one point you and a bunch of other senior diplomats described the current position and the negotiating strategy of the government as a fiasco? i think that was a joint letter, yes. i think we are in a serious mess. if you are

the governor of the bank of england, mark carney, speaking in the house of lords, responding to questionshe financial sector is well prepared. he has said that for quite sometime. we have our ducks in a row, we have made sure banks have the right amount of capital, et cetera, for any scenario. it has been vocal about the fact he is concerned that other businesses are not so well—prepared. concerned that other businesses are not so well-prepared. he is concerned about other businesses and the liquidity between money going back and forth between european banks and the uk. he feels the uk, perhaps because we are so alert to the idea of no deal, has got prepared and we will be in a good position. he has copied percentage points, what he thinks about the contraction of the uk if we don't get a deal —— cut. i was sorry for mark carney. he is very astute. he goes out and he was people and he ta kes goes out and he was people and he takes action and cuts back the risk in people say there was a risk in the first place. it is often because i think the bank of england has done a very good job of loo

heard from you know britain's parliament that they're calling for a digital authority and the house of lords report saying that tech companies have failed to regulate themselves as a digital authority. the onset to better regulation. right and i think there is two ways to think about it on the one hand these companies and certainly become too big too quickly i think certainly faster than they themselves expected and this has given them sort of it outsized role in the public sphere. so you could certainly imagine why we need more steps towards international and national local regulations the mayor at the day at events just the other night asked me about whether they should take a more active role in police excessive media on the other hand you have to ask why people are engaging in these practices in the first place and you can imagine thinking about things like hoaxes fake news but we're just discussing whatsapp as sort of a canary in the coal mine that maybe this is really played to get larger political issues that are different than a digital or technological issues and they're really what

u nfortu nately, over the house of lords reform? exactly. or the few days ahead, the president we have from 2003 is not very helpful. in 2003, seven options were offered in the house of commons on how to perform the lords. every single one of those options was rejected and we just continued with the status quo. now, concerning lee, in our context here in the uk, the status quo for us here in the uk, the status quo for us is going to be a hard brexit and no—deal brexit on the 12th of april. that is what happens if nothing else is decided upon come if no action happens, that is what we are headed. soi happens, that is what we are headed. so i suppose if the endgame is for parliament to try to reach an agreement, what would be the best chances of success of that happening? this is in the power of the question and the power of how the question and the power of how the question and the power of how the question is formed. we have been hearing so far that the questions will be yes and no. so if i ask you a series of questions like would you like to

in 2003, mps voted on a series of options on house of lords reform, none of them on a majority. that we should go home and sleep on this. it's been suggested that seven options will be given to parliament. the order of these votes will be crucial. the sequencing of how motions might be voted on during an indicative vote, so the order in which you might vote on for example, the option of revoking article 50, of a no deal brexit, membership of the single market, it matters because some mps, if their third option has been rejected, they are more willing to support an alternative. so if you are a group of mps who support one option for leaving the eu, then you want your option to come last because you're more likely to persuade other mps to support it at the end of a series of votes. so who will decide the order? well, ken clarke suggests mps ranking their preferences. the order can also be chosen by the speaker, although many in the conservative party worry that he is not a neutral arbiter. so far, many of these options have already been voted on. it's not at all clear that any hav

my fear is it will end up like we had in 2003—7 on house of lords reform and it is something similar. in 2003, no option, a majority said there was no way forward and in 2007 you got two options which clashed in the government could not move forward again. so it is not clear that we will get a good outcome tomorrow. but could you not keep going, knocking out the least popular options until you get one that has the bigger share of the vote ? that has the bigger share of the vote? or might you still not get a majority? in principle you could rule out certain options. it is not clear how the approach proposed today would actually do that. you could take those that have the least supporting politically remove them from the process. i suspect that is what they are looking to use monday for, for an additional set of votes on motions if to eventually rule out. it was an extraordinary day here at westminster. the government almost sitting on its hands, wondering what the business will be tomorrow, they still have to bring back this statutory instrument to change the brexit date, but they cann
