'Committed' Cameron to Lords reform.

With the recent news of Cameron backing the House of Lords reform. Is this another step to a more liberal conservative outlook? Well the coalition is pushing Mr Cameron in this new direction, though does he himself also feel that its time to start reforming things, leaving behind the traditional conservative pragmatic routes. Though the main question is will his party follow him or has this been one liberal step to far? In the recent Backbench Business committee it is said that only one conservative MP backed the idea of a Lords reform. This might be partly behind why if the vote goes ahead it will be a free vote (if there ever truly was one in the commons). There is always the chance hat reformed house of lords could result in a loss of skills and something that exactly mirrors the commons creating deadlock and a party ruled upper chamber, and seeing as the Lords currently defeats the government more, is it right to change it to favour the few.
