The Lord Speaker (Lord McFall of Alcluith)
The noble Lord, Lord Stunell, is not present. I call the noble Lord, Lord McLoughlin.
Lord McLoughlin (Con)
Will my noble friend agree that, while some Members of your Lordships’ House may have had memory blackouts of before 2010, they have always previously been very happy for this to be a non-statutory body? Does he agree that it is right that the Prime Minister, who is elected, is the sole arbiter of who serves in his Government.
