The Parliament (No. 2) Act 1986

The Parliament (No. 2) Act 1986 is a UK law that limits the power of the House of Lords in delaying legislation. It allows the House of Commons to proceed with a bill without waiting for the Lords to approve it after two sessions or a year, ensuring the elected House of Commons has the final say. This act addresses delays caused by the House of Lords and reinforces the elected chamber's authority in the legislative process, aiming to prevent prolonged obstruction and promote efficient lawmaking.
