Overview

This book is the first to offer a systematic and comprehensive analysis of one complete session of the British House of Lords. Written by a team of senior academics and officers of both Houses of Parliament, it evaluates every aspect of the activity of the House—its membership, the treatment of legislation, debates and questions, and select committee work. It also details sittings and divisions. This thorough and authoritative account is essential reading for students of the British Parliament, comparative politics, and international relations.
