Welcome to European Tribune. It's gone a bit quiet around here these days, but it's still going.

Has the Government mooted any changes for the Lords?  It seems to me that if they're going to copy the Australians on the AV-elected lower house, they could at least copy the (moderately) PR upper house, too.

No legislation yet on House of Lords reform, but it is on the agenda for later in the Parliament.

There is a committee currently considering options for legislation. It is technically a cabinet committee, but it includes some Labour representatives. Possibly some consensus will emerge, but if not I think Clegg has the drive to impose something.

2011 might be a suitable year to finally sort out the House of Lords. It has only been 100 years since the preamble to the Parliament Act 1911 promised a permanent solution would be brought forward.

I have done some research. Clegg is hoping to have a bill ready in December, on House of Lords reform.
