House of Lords Reform (No. 2) Bill - 7th Report of Session 2013-14
Author: Stationery Office (Great Britain)
Publisher: Stationery Office/Tso
ISBN: 9780108553547
Category : Law
Languages : en
Pages : 8
Book Description
The bill contains measures which were passed by the House of Lords in the last session of Parliament (in Lord Steel of Aikwood's House of Lords (Cessation of Membership) Bill [HL]; although the precise wording of the two bills differs in some particulars). The bill provides for three "small-scale" reforms of the House of Lords.5 6. First, in clause 1 the bill provides for the resignation or retirement of members of the House of Lords. Under clause 1 resignation may not be rescinded. Secondly, in clause 2 the bill provides that a member of the House of Lords who does not attend during a session ceases to be a member from the beginning of the following session. Exceptions are provided for, for example where the session is short, where the member has leave of absence or where the House resolves that there are "special circumstances". Thirdly, clause 3 provides that a member of the House of Lords who is convicted of an offence and sentenced to be imprisoned for more than one year ceases to be a member of the House. This applies to a conviction outside the United Kingdom only if the House of Lords resolves as such. The bill is clearly a measure of constitutional reform but, in the Committee's view, it raises no problems of constitutional concern

House of Lords reform draft bill
Author: Great Britain: Deputy Prime Minister's Office
Publisher: The Stationery Office
ISBN: 9780101807722
Category : Law
Languages : en
Pages : 180
Book Description
This is a draft Bill and white paper on proposals to change the House of Lords into a more democratically elected second chamber. A cross-party Committee met seven times from June to December 2010 and considered all reform issues related to the House of Lords. Agreement was reached on a large number of issues but differences in opinion remain on the size of the elected element and the type of electoral system. The Government now wants to take the discussion forward to a debate on the detail. Proposals include an 80 percent elected House of Lords but a wholly elected House of Lords has not been ruled out. The Draft Bill sets out elections using the Single Transferable Vote system but it is recognised that a case can be made for other proportional systems too. Other proposals, name, size, functions, powers and term length are some of several issues discussed.
