The House of Lords is too big, and the number of peers should be cut so there are fewer of them than there are MPs, says Lord Grade.

The Conservative peer took issue with a report into their expenses, claiming the Electoral Reform Society was using statistics in a "very misleading way", when they found 100 peers had not spoken in the House for a year but had claimed nearly 拢1.3m.

He was speaking to Daily Politics presenter Jo Coburn and former Labour MP Chris Mullin, who agreed the House of Lords needed its numbers cut back.
