Lord Falconer duly appeared in the House of Lords the next working day in full-bottomed wig and breeches to preside as Lord Chancellor, as he is required to do by the Standing Orders of the House every day the House is sitting unless he has obtained a leave of absence.
Recent media reports suggest that while the Lords may consent to some reforms, including the Government's plans to create a supreme court to assume the judicial functions of the House of Lords, it is unlikely to assent to the outright abolition of the Lord Chancellorship.
