In opposition, Keir Starmer called the House of Lords "undemocratic" and "indefensible".

The Government must launch a public consultation into the future of the House of Lords, as promised in the Labour Party manifesto.

In the meantime, the government must urgently reform the House of Lords Appointments Commission to ensure that peerages are only awarded based on merit and experience.
