House of Lords (Hereditary Peers) BillContribution
The third part of the amendment ensures that, once the House’s size equals that of the Commons, the number of appointments should be constrained to prevent membership levels rising again, as the Lord Speaker’s committee also suggested years ago. The amendment therefore suggests a long-term commitment to appointments being restricted to no higher than the number of departures.
