More Government defeats today in the House of Lords.

Some may think I am gleeful about this: I am not. The bill as passed to the Lords had many flaws as was pointed out on the Commons and I don't think anything sent back for further consideration had not been criticised in the Commons. Forcing something through with known problems just because you can is a bad way of making law. I would particularly single out those Lords amendments the government accepted without a need for a vote in the House of Lords.
