| | Department for Constitutional Affairs - Consultation Paper - Next Steps for the House of Lords |
| | The Consultation Papers on the abolition of the Lord Chancellor, the establishment of a Supreme Court and a Judicial Appointments Commission, and now this Paper on the next stage of Lords reform, are further evidence that the work goes on. | | | For the House of Lords, on the other hand, although a peer is effectively unable to sit and vote while imprisoned, her or she is free to resume his or her seat immediately on release. | | | House of Lords reform is but one element of a radical programme of constitutional renewal that this Government has put in place since 1997. |

| | NodeWorks - Encyclopedia: House of Lords Act 1999 |
| | The House of Lords Act 1999, an Act of Parliament passed by the British Parliament, was a major constitutional enactment as it completely reformed one of the chambers of Parliament, the House of Lords. | | | Prior to the House of Lords Act 1999 the power of the Lords was diminished by the Parliament Acts of 1911 and 1949 which stripped the Lords of their ability to block adoption of most bills; at most they could delay them for one session. | | | The elections for officers of the House were held on the twenty-seventh and twenty-eighth of October, while those for peers elected by party were held on the third and fourth of November; the results were proclaimed to the House on the fifth of November. |
