UK plans to abolish 92 hereditary seats in the House of Lords to make parliament more representative.

The UK Labour government plans to abolish the 92 hereditary seats in the House of Lords, moving to reform the unelected upper chamber. The reform aims to phase out lawmakers with titles like duke and earl, as part of efforts to make the parliament more representative of modern Britain. The move, approved by the House of Commons, will be debated in the Lords and is part of a broader plan to replace the current chamber with an elected one.
