Understanding politics: The House of Lords

This slide covers the structure and responsibilities of The House of Lords. It walks through how people become members of the House of the Lords and what they do once they get there. It also includes activities that encourage learners to think about how peers apply their expertise to legislation and to think about who they would like to see given a place in The House of Lords. It ends by providing tools that learners can use to find out who their local political representatives are and how to contact them.
