 Lords Hansard text for 15 Jun 1999 (190615-18)
The noble Lord, Lord Randall of St. Budeaux, is being loyal to your Lordships' House and to its traditions by introducing this amendment.
The approach of the noble Lord, Lord Randall of St. Budeaux-- that the hereditary peerage be phased out, not forced out, while the sting of numbers is drawn by a revised voting system-- goes with the grain of natural justice and, dare I say it, unfashionable though it now is in many quarters, fair play.
Lords the Lord Chancellor and Lord Falconer or the Leader of the House.

 BBC News | UK Politics | Labour peer attacks 'degrading' Lords reform
Lord Randall insisted: "I am 500% more efficient as a real politician in the Lords, but there is an ignorance level in the Commons about the Lords and they [MPs] don't know what goes on there."
He said a better reform of the Lords would be for the government to bar an heir to a title from taking his seat on the death of his father.
Lord Randall has submitted his own detailed Lords reform proposals - including a voluntary weighted voting system which would apply to all peers except cabinet members - to the cabinet committee overseeing the subject.

Lord does not realize that if theoretical issues were given overwhelming credence by early chiropractic practitioners, our profession would not exist.
Lord's judgmental error lies in his refusal to recognize the distinction in science and elsewhere, between tool-use and tool-use explanations.
Lord's evaluation of homeopathic remedies might have been different had he been aware that since the beginning of homeopathy, sick domestic and farm animals were healed via these "unscientific" remedies.

 Lords Hansard text for 27 Apr 1999 (190427-28)
One of the major defects in the proposal of the noble Lord, Lord Randall, is the weighting of the voting.
I certainly believe that the noble Lord's more gentle approach to the hereditary peerage would be in keeping with what we are told continually is the more gentle approach of this Government.
He is right to point out that I entirely agreed with him when the noble Lord, Lord Randall, said that the time had come for the end of the hereditary Peers and that was the settled view both of the country and this House.

Lord Randall and John Blunt must be among the more widespread story-ideas in the folk consciousness, the stories remaining more or less the same and varying according to locale and-or the individual imagination of whoever sings them.
Lord Randall is one of the most widely-known ballads in the English-speaking world, and indeed the plot is common to much of western Europe.
The entire song consists of a tense dialogue between Lord Randall and his mother, during which dawns the awful realisation that he has been poisoned by his lover and is going to die.

The book is organized into three sections, the first is the Lord Darcy stories written before _Too Many Magicians_, the second section is _Too Many Magicians_ and the third is the Lord Darcy stories that were written in the 70's.
All the Lord Darcy stories are here, from the very first one, "The Eyes Have It," to "The Napoli Express." "Too Many Magicians" is a great fun read, long enough to develope several characters and fill in a lot of the background of the Empire.
Finally we have "The Spell of War" an atypical story in that it is a war story, and takes place early in Lord Darcy's life, when he is a young officer in the Imperial Army in the war of '39.
