MICHAEL SETTLE
Speaking during question-time in the House of Commons, the Deputy Prime Minister was responding to a question from SNP MP Angus MacNeil.
Mr MacNeil, the Western Isles MP asked: "I wonder if a party, who are currently in government, that gets annihilated at a general election, should they keep their peers in the House of Lords as it won't then be reflected in the House of Commons."
