8:12Now PlayingThe Labour Party have set out plans to reform the House of Lords. What could replace it?
In 2022 Keir Starmer promised to abolish the House of Lords when Labour reach government. In July 2024, after winning the general election, Labour announced plans to “immediately reform” the upper chamber. These include removing hereditary peers and introducing a mandatory retirement age for peers.
A listener asks: If the labour party in the next 5 years decide to get rid of the house of lords, what is the most likely option for a replacement?
Rachel Cunliffe and Hannah Barnes answer listener questions.
