BILL
to

This bill changes the rules for how peerages (hereditary titles that come with seats in the House of Lords) pass from one person to the next. It allows for different ways of inheriting these titles, moving away from strict traditional rules to something more flexible for modern circumstances.

Presented by Lord Trefgarne.
