Lords reform 'should follow' MP seats review

The World Tonight

Available for over a year

As Conservative MPs join Labour in criticising plans to redraw constituencies in England and Wales the new Speaker of the House of Lords, Lord Fowler tells us there's a growing consensus that the number of peers should also be cut. Also as Luxemburg's Foreign Minister says that Hungary should be expelled from the EU because of its treatment of refugees, we debate two competing visions of Europe with MEPs from both countries. And what does space sound like? Robin Warren investigates. Picture: Polling station Credit: Andrew Milligan/PA Wire.
