My Lords, I beg to move an amendment to the Short Title of the Bill simply because, having pared the Bill down to just two succinct issues-retirement and expulsion-I think it is rather grandiose to describe it as a House of Lords Reform Bill. It also runs the risk of being confused with the other Bill-I shall not insert an adjective-which is due to come before us. Therefore, I think that "House of Lords (Amendment) Act" is a better title than "House of Lords Reform Act".
