The House of Lords (Hereditary Peers) Bill, sometimes referred to as the Hereditary Peers Bill, is a bill in the Parliament of the United Kingdom. The bill, if passed, will remove all remaining hereditary peers from the House of Lords and future involvement in British parliamentary processes.
House of Lords reform was proposed at the 2024 United Kingdom general election in the Labour Party manifesto, which included an age cap for life peers and the removal of hereditary peers entirely.
