Ed Miliband MP, Leader of the Labour Party, commenting on reform of the House of Lords, said:
“We should have reform of the House of Lords.
“I believe there should be a referendum because this is a major constitutional change and I think the best way of making sure that House of Lords reform happens is by giving people a say.

“We’ll obviously see what the committee that has been set up to look at this says on Monday but Labour’s view – which we expressed in our manifesto – is we want a democratically elected second chamber, we wanted a referendum to make that decision and I hope the Government will listen to what people are saying and hopefully what Parliament will be saying.”
