BILL
to
This Act gives the House of Lords the ability to expel (permanently remove) or suspend (temporarily ban) its members for serious misconduct or breaking the rules. Before 2015, the House of Lords couldn't remove members, so this Act introduced a new disciplinary power to maintain standards of behaviour.
