House of Lords (Hereditary Peers) BillContribution
The Labour manifesto said that it would introduce a retirement age for Peers turning 80 at the end of the Parliament, not the Session. On the one hand, the Government will get rid of the hereditaries at the end of Session, but on the other hand, Peers aged 80 will not leave until the end of the Parliament. Why that inconsistency? I cannot understand the difference.
