While the House of Commons has a defined 650-seat membership, the number of members in the House of Lords is not fixed. There are currently 816 sitting Lords. The House of Lords is the only upper house of any bicameral parliament to be larger than its respective lower house.
A member of the House of Lords was known as a pair (see also pairie), or officially as a member of the Prussian House of Lords (Mitglieder des preußischen Herrenhauses, or MdH). The House consisted of hereditary peers, life peers appointed by the King of Prussia, peers by virtue of position, representatives of cities and universities, etc. The majority of members were nobles, although the House also had commoners as members, especially among the representatives of cities and universities. The breakdown was as follows:
House of Lords is the fourth album by Lords of the Underground, their first album in eight years. The album was released on August 21, 2007 for Affluent Records and was produced by Marley Marl, K-Def and DJ Lord Jazz. Like the group's previous album Resurrection the album received very little promotion and was a commercial failure, and it did not make it to the Billboard charts nor did it produce any hit singles.
First attempts to establish a Reichsrat advisory committee had been undertaken by the 1860 October Diploma. As Emperor Franz Joseph's position was weakened by the Second Italian War of Independence and the loss of Lombardy, the Austrian minister-president Count Johann Bernhard von Rechberg und Rothenlöwen sought for a close alliance with the haute bourgeoisie. However, the liberal-minded citizens demanded a parliamentary constitution which finally was promulgated by the 1861 February Patent. Elaborated under Count Rechberg's successor Archduke Rainer and State Minister Anton von Schmerling, it gave way for the transition of Austria to a constitutional monarchy. The newly established bicameral legislature of the Imperial Council included the House of Lords, meant as a class-oriented council to counterbalance the lower House of Deputies, which were sent by the provincial assemblies (Landtage). The Patent was rejected in the Habsburg Kingdom of Hungary demanding an own constitution, which eventually led to the creation of the sovereign Lands of the Crown of Saint Stephen in 1867.
House of Lords was formed in 1987 by former Angel member and keyboardist Gregg Giuffria after his solo project Giuffria. After listening to demos – originally intended for Giuffria's third record – a record deal with Gene Simmons' company Simmons Records was agreed upon, on two conditions that the band's name be changed (to House of Lords) and a new lead singer recruited (firing David Glen Eisley in the process).James Christian thus replaced Eisley, after Christian was suggested by ex-Giuffria and Quiet Riot bassist Chuck Wright, after having worked together in L.A. Rocks.
House of Lords' eponymous debut was released in 1988, featuring a heavier sound than Giuffria with a lower keyboard mix. The album received critical acclaim and the band toured with Cheap Trick, Ozzy Osbourne and the Scorpions in 1989.
The album featured one major hit, "I Wanna Be Loved" (Hot 100 No.58). The Stan Bush penned "Love Don't Lie" was the second single but despite MTV airplay, failed to chart. After touring, original guitarist Lanny Cordola left in 1990, replaced by ex Shark Island's Michael Guy.
At the start of business every sitting day Monday to Thursday, the House of Lords quizzes government on any topic it is responsible for.
Government ministers or spokespersons answer members’ questions, and any member may take part. Turn on subtitles to see which member is speaking and for the full text of each question.

BREXIT House of Lords: Peers give Yvette Cooper bill initial approval, return on Monday
Last night, Peers have approved the Yvette Cooper bill at second reading without a vote.
Pro-Brexit peers failed in a “filibustering” attempt to “thwart” it.
The bill, which attempts to avoid no-deal by legally binding Prime Minister Theresa May into seeking an extension to Brexit beyond April 12, was subject to seven hours of procedural wrangling.
Peers delivered long speeches designed to eat up debating time and prevent the bill from completing the necessary stages in time, a process known as filibustering.
The remaining stages of the bill will be debated on Monday.
