		The House of Lords Act 1999 (c 34) removed most hereditary peers from the House of Lords, stopped the inheritance of a title being an automatic entry ticket to Parliament, and ended the century-long dominance of the House by one political party.
		The House of Lords should continue to be a forum for national debate, informed by but not dominated by party loyalties, able to command a body of independent and expert opinion not directly available to the House of Commons.
		The House of Lords is a powerful deliberative assembly, both in its debates and in the work of its committees, particularly its Select Committees on Delegated Powers and Regulatory Reform and the European Union (both of which are especially strengthened by the role of independent experts who sit on the cross-benches).

	Government Plans for the House of Lords
		It is true that reform of the House of Lords appeared in the last Labour Party manifesto, but as less than half the electorate voted for the Labour Party this cannot be claimed as a "large majority".
		The House of Lords sought to ask the Government to think again ~ because what the Government sought to do was either against the will of the people (as in the reduction of the age of homosexual consent), or the Government was arrogantly determined to be silly (as with the fourth-year fees at Scottish universities).
		Several commentators in columns, letters and e-mail noted (unfairly???) that Lady Jay is in the House of Lords because she is the daughter of a prime minister and the ex-wife of an ambassador who owed his diplomatic career to his wife's relationship with her father.
