麻豆约拍

Four new peers from beyond the world of politics talk about their first impressions of life in the House of Lords: Joan Bakewell, Rachael Heyhoe-Flint, Raj Loomba and Tony Hall describe the experience of being appointed and getting to grips with the culture, customs and working environment. How do they see their role and influence at a critical moment in the history of the Lords? As the coalition government prepares to publish a bill to change the House radically by introducing elections, how do these new members see the future for themselves and their fellow peers?
