1911 Parliament Act

The Parliament Act of 1911 is a significant piece of legislation in the UK that limited the power of the House of Lords, the upper chamber of Parliament. It established that if the House of Lords rejected a bill passed by the House of Commons twice within two years, the Commons could ultimately pass the bill without the Lords' approval. This act aimed to ensure that elected representatives in the Commons had more influence over legislation, reflecting the will of the people, particularly as the Commons gained more power and the Lords were seen as increasingly out of touch with the public.
