In chapter nine of "Clancarty" which deals with the contribution of the ninth Earl, Nicholas Trench, I discussed the Labour Party's election pledge to abolish the hereditary peers from House of Lords should Labour become Government. Labour did win the election in July last year, and they have introduced legislation into the House of Commons to abolish hereditary peers. It is expected that the Bill will become law in early 2025 at which point the 9th Earl and his hereditary peer colleagues will cease to have a place in the Lords. A huge step in reforming the House of Lords. There are several articles listed on Google on the matter.
