From the publisher

This book is the only one of its kind, providing a clear and exhaustive analysis of the different approaches to the future of Britain's second chamber. The House of Lords has long been the subject of proposals for reform - some successful, others not - and calls for the existing membership to be replaced by elected members have been a staple of political debate. The debate has been characterised by heat rather than light, proponents and opponents of change often talking past one another. This work gives shape to the debate, drawing out the role of the House of Lords, previous attempts at reform, and the different approaches to the future of the House. It develops the argument for each and analyses the current state of the debate about the future of the upper house in Britain's political system.

From the rear cover

In Reform of the House of Lords, Philip Norton provides a succinct analysis of the role of Britain's second chamber, highlighting previous attempts at reform and assessing current approaches to change.

Using a comprehensive framework based on four Rs - Retain, Reform, Replace, and Remove - Norton identifies the pros and cons for each approach, and offers an assessment of the debate as a whole. This distinctive approach serves as a corrective to the existing literature on the subject, drawing out competing arguments and providing a firm basis for readers to reach their own conclusions.

As a sitting-member of the House of Lords, Norton has first-hand experience of the chamber's functions, as well as its benefits and negatives, making this essential reading for anyone with an interest in Britain's parliamentary system.
