That is why, within this group, subsection (b) of the new clause in Amendment 77 indicates the capped number of 620 which a transitional House seeks to achieve by reducing the present number of just under 800; advocating in subsection (a) that, in a given year, the collective number of life Peers who retire or die is, therefore, replaced at 50%; and in subsection (c) that new Peers, whether coming in during the transitional period or after it has ended, would serve for a maximum of 15 years.
