- Abstract:
- When the House of Lords returns from recess in October, they will begin to welcome the 30 new peers announced at the beginning of August, compounding fears of a ballooning house. Among the Bills to be scrutinised are three PMBs suggesting limited and/or discriminatory reform of the upper chamber. This blog post considers these Bills, the problem of an increasingly large house and suggests a small amendment to the more likely Bills which would secure a full but evolutionary reform which meets the stated aims of most sides and concludes what the House of Lords Act 1999 began.
