[Nedusa]

Actually the House of Lords is an important reviewing chamber, rushed or unfinished legislation is passed to the HOL for in depth review , scrutiny and amendment.

Without the HOL legislation from the House of Commons is often rushed to get onto the statute books without any formal peer review would be open to all kinds of loopholes and legal challenges.

The House of Commons is so rushed that in depth review of forthcoming legislation must be reviewed and the HOL is the ideal chamber for carrying out that task.

If the House of Commons was extended and peer review increased with less laws being introduced then perhaps the HOL could be abolished but not under the present conditions.
