In: The journal of legislative studies, Band 4, Heft 2, S. 17-32
ISSN: 1357-2334
THE AUTHOR EXPLAINS THE BRITISH GOVERNMENT'S DELAY IN REFORMING THE HOUSE OF LORDS AND LOOKS AT HOW THE CHAMBER HAS NEVERTHELESS UNDERTAKEN ITS OWN PROGRAM OF PROCEDURAL REFORM. HE ARGUES THAT THESE REFORMS HAVE ENHANCED THE HOUSE OF LORDS' CONTRIBUTION TO THE PARLIAMENTARY PROCESS IN RECENT YEARS. THEN HE OFFERS SUGGESTIONS FOR FURTHER CHANGES IN THE SECOND CHAMBER AND BRIEFLY EXAMINES THE LABOR GOVERNMENT'S PROPOSALS FOR REFORMING THE COMPOSITION OF THE HOUSE OF LORDS.
