  • It is quite clear from what has been said and written that, time after time after time, there has been a conspiracy between the Conservative Front Bench in this House and the inbuilt Conservative majority in the House of Lords to defeat legislation that has passed through the House of Commons...

In recent weeks, it has been wrecking legislation passed by this House.

    James Callaghan's speech on economic policy in the House of Commons, api.parliament.uk. November 9, 1976.
