The House of Lords in the History
The unelected ‘upper house’, membership is inherited or appointed and it currently contains figures such as Lord Alan Sugar. It has the power to veto decisions made by the House of Commons.
House of Lords Meaning in Politics
Description of House of Lords published by Mona Chalabi: This is where Lord Ashcroft can be found when he’s not doing polls. In many ways, it’s like the House of Commons — it too is a body of Parliament that can introduce legislation, and its members can become government ministers. Unlike the Commons, however, the approximately 790 members of the House of Lords are appointed, rather than elected. An independent body, the House of Lords Appointments Commission, makes recommendations about who should be appointed and vets nominations (which can come from either the public or political parties). Once appointments have been approved by the prime minister, they’re formalized by the queen. Another key difference is that members of the House of Lords sit on red couches rather than green couches. That is key.
Definition of The House Of Lords
If a bill was introduced in the house of commons it now passes to the house of lords where it goes through the same five stages.
