Lauren Edwards: “Those people quite rightly had a hope that this was going to be introduced.”

It's all about giving people a choice, and so I absolutely know that I'll go through a process that Kim's gone through, probably even worse, but that is a small price to pay for what I hope to be able to do, which is introduce this…

I believe it is a fundamental democratic principle that the elected chamber, the House of Commons, should decide what does and does not become law in this country.

It’s incredibly overdue and people are suffering. There will be huge repercussions I think for people’s faith in politics and view of the House of Lords if they were to talk it out again.

We cannot let them down again.
