Parliament Acts Amendment

The Parliament Acts Amendment refers to changing laws that define how the UK's Parliament can limit or bypass the House of Lords' approvals. Originally, the Parliament Acts of 1911 and 1949 allowed the House of Commons to pass legislation even if the House of Lords delayed or rejected it, under specific conditions. Amendments to these Acts aim to update or clarify these procedures, ensuring elected representatives have a more direct role in lawmaking while balancing the Lords' reviewing powers. Such amendments strive for a more efficient legislative process, reflecting modern governance needs and reinforcing democratic principles.
