Abstract
"This book examines the House of Lords in both its Parliamentary and its judicial capacity. A total of fourteen contributors discuss such important topics as the membership of the House, how the House compares with other second chambers in bicameral legislatures elsewhere, the role of the Lord Chancellor, the rules concerning discussion of sub judice matters and the stance taken by the Law Lords towards European Community law. At a time when the future of the House of Lords is once again under active consideration, the book serves to remind readers of the significance of the institution to the British Constitution. The issues dealt with in this book go to the heart of how democracy manifests itself in the United Kingdom today." - Voila
