Ban rule-breaking peers from the House of Lords.
Ban permanently from the House of Lords peers who have committed a serious breach of the House of Lords’ rules
Why is this important?
Peers who break the rules get to keep their titles and return to the House of Lords to make our laws.
They may serve a suspension, but then simply walk back in.
This includes peers found guilty of bullying, inappropriate lobbying, and other serious breaches of the Code of Conduct.
Meanwhile, MPs who commit serious breaches of the rules have to resign or face being chucked out by the voters in a by-election.
We think peers should be banned for good if found guilty of serious breaches of the Code of Conduct.
Those who break the rules should NOT have the power to make our laws.
Sign the petition today to send the Lords Conduct Committee a clear message: if you seriously break the rules, you lose your seat. No exceptions.
