House of Lords Retirement and Participation Committee: Inquiry into retirement age and participation requirement

The House of Lords Retirement and Participation Committee, appointed December 2025, is conducting a formal inquiry into a retirement age and participation requirement for members of the House of Lords — a directly adjacent House of Lords reform measure to the Removal of Peerages Bill, due to report by 31 July 2026. This is the primary active parliamentary scrutiny body examining the next tranche of Lords reform alongside the Removal of Peerages Bill.
