“It’s a case of when rather than if,” Labour peer and former trade union boss Lord Rosser told pupils at St John’s, Marlborough, when asked about proposed changes to the role of the House of Lords.
After being greeted by headteacher Dr Patrick Hazlewood, St John’s governors Lisa Gygax and Neville Hobson, Lord Rosser met a group of sixth form law and politics students to talk about the work and role of the House of Lords.
And it was during a question and answer session that he was asked, “Do you think the role or makeup of the House of Lords will change anytime soon?” .
Lord Rosser who lives in Chippenham, was invited to St John’s as part of the Peers in Schools programme which is designed to encourage students to engage more with the political and parliamentary process.
