The Liberal Democrats in the House of Lords today encouraged people to give their views on the future of the Upper House, by placing a ballot in a ballot box outside Parliament.

The public's response was overwhelmingly in favour of democratic reform.

Commenting, Liberal Democrat Peer Lord Teverson said: 

"It was good to see so many members of the public voting in our ballot outside the House of Lords today.   

"The result showed a large majority for a fully elected House. We hope there will be a big response on our website while the debate continues on this very important subject."
