Answer from Hansard
The Paymaster General and Minister for the Cabinet Office (Nick Thomas-Symonds)
As an immediate first step in reform, the Government introduced the House of Lords (Hereditary Peers) Bill to remove the right of hereditary peers to sit and vote in the House of Lords. That Bill was unamended and passed in this House, and will soon be in Committee in the other place.
