The UK government plans to eliminate the 92 hereditary peers from the House of Lords, fulfilling a manifesto commitment by Prime Minister Keir Starmer's Labour party. This legislation aims to reform the unelected upper chamber, seen as outdated, and is part of broader efforts to create a more representative parliamentary structure. The reform completes changes initiated in 1999 under Tony Blair's government and is expected to become law next year.
