House of Lords (Hereditary Peers) Bill

The House of Commons debated the House of Lords (Hereditary Peers) Bill, with a reasoned amendment proposed to decline the Second Reading. The amendment argued that the bill was not an acceptable or effective method of enacting major constitutional change, proposed significant alterations to the House of Lords without considering other changes, and lacked political consensus and proper consultation. The amendment was rejected, with 105 votes in favor and 453 votes against.
