“Don’t try and sabotage democracy.” Dame Esther Rantzen notes that a flood of 1000+ amendments goes beyond scrutiny. It risks subverting the elected chamber and weakening trust in parliamentary process. The Commons has twice endorsed this Bill - Peers should respect that democratic decision.

Baroness Blackstone argues the lack of progress on the Bill is a result of a handful of Lords tabling and endlessly debating “absurd” and "repeating" amendments. Proper scrutiny by the majority is undermined when a long-opposed minority exploit procedure to block the will of MPs and the people.
