Synopsis
This timely book explores the debate on the reform of the House of Lords and analyzes its work in the wider context of constitutional reform. Donald Shell examines the considerable changes that the House has undergone and looks at ways in which it might be further reformed. The book provides a clear overview and a critical analysis of proposals for its reform. It looks at the legislative work of the House and considers its relationship with the Commons and the Government. Arguments for and against a unicameral system are considered and comparisons made with second chambers in other countries. Finally, past and present proposals for reform are examined, as are the obstacles in the way of reform and the future of the Constitution.
