What should be done about the Peers? That’s the ‘92 excepted hereditary peers who remain active legislators’, not the House of Lords as a whole. In this week’s NLJ, Neil Parpworth, Leicester De Montfort Law School, continues his series on the House of Lords (Hereditary Peers) Bill, introduced in the House of Commons in September
Parpworth writes: ‘It is evident that the piecemeal nature of the proposed reform failed to strike a chord with some MPs, and the Bill’s perceived lack of ambition was also criticised. Thus, responding on behalf of the opposition, Sir Oliver Dowden referred to it as a “chipolata of a Bill”.’
