Reform of the House of Lords was one aspect of the new governments manifesto which it seemed in no hurry to implement.

The meeting discussed attempts at reform in the twentieth century: the Parliament Act of 1911 and Labour’s attempts to reform the Lords in the 1960s; together with some thoughts on the future of the Second Chamber.
