[As Introduced]
A
BILL
to

This bill proposes to change how hereditary peerages (noble titles and House of Lords seats passed down through families) are inherited. The exact changes aren't specified in the basic details, but it's about updating the succession rules that currently govern who can inherit these titles and positions when a peer dies.

Presented by Lord Lucas.
