[As Introduced]
A
BILL
to

This bill proposes changing how people become members of the House of Lords. Instead of being appointed for life, some or all Lords would be elected by the public in a similar way to MPs. This aims to make the House of Lords more democratic and accountable to voters.

Presented by Baroness Jones of Moulsecoomb.
