That this House do agree with the orders made by the Commons set out in their message of 23 October; that the promoters of the City of London (Markets) Bill, which was originally introduced in this House in the current session on 23 January 2023, should have leave to suspend any further proceedings on the bill in order to proceed with it, if they think fit, in the next session of Parliament, according to the provisions of Private Business Standing Order 188A (Suspension of Bills).

That the Commons message of 23 October be now considered; and that the promoters of the Bishop’s Stortford Cemetery Bill [HL], which was originally introduced in the House of Lords in this session on 23 January 2023, should have leave to suspend any further proceedings on the Bill from the day on which the current session ends in order to proceed with it, if they think fit, in the next session of Parliament according to the provisions of Private Business Standing Order 150A (Suspension of bills).

House of Lords

The house of Lords is the upper chamber of the Houses of Parliament. It is filled with Lords (I.E. Lords, Dukes, Baron/esses, Earls, Marquis/esses, Viscounts, Count/esses, etc.) The Lords consider proposals from the EU or from the commons. They can then reject a bill, accept it, or make amendments. If a bill is rejected, the commons can send it back to the lords for re-discussion. The Lords cannot stop a bill for longer than one parliamentary session. If a bill is accepted, it is forwarded to the Queen, who will then sign it and make it law. If a bill is amended, the amended bill is sent back to the House of Commons for discussion.

The Lords are not elected; they are appointed. Lords can take a "whip", that is to say, they can choose a party to represent. Currently, most Peers are Conservative.
