The Royal Commission on the House of Lords 2000

The Royal Commission on the House of Lords (2000) was an official panel set up by the UK government to examine how the House of Lords, the UK's upper chamber of Parliament, could be reformed. It looked at issues like whether members should be elected or appointed, and how to make the chamber more democratic and effective. The commission's goal was to improve transparency, accountability, and public confidence, but it ultimately did not produce a definitive plan for reform. Its work influenced ongoing debates about modernizing the UK's parliamentary system.
