HoL Reform - Amended
Proposal by lordjustice

Reformation of our upper House. To create a larger reliance of Checks and Balances in the UK Government by having an offsetting body of legislation to both review and approve of legislation through the House of Commons. The House of Lords will also allow more experienced members of the UK, who do not have the time to commit to the full body of Commons or may not due to military commitment, to still advise on matters of National Law.

NOTE: This article takes into account only those pieces of voted on legislation as mentioned above provided they fell within those dates (votes that bounced back and forth may have been outside the dates and so not taken into account – would be taken into account in another report), it does not take into account votes on anything that was not legislative (including the initiation of public inquiries).

Many thanks,
