Q

Legitimation, representation, providing government and debate

A

-the lords don’t have a representative role in a democratic sense
-legislation can be enacted without its consent (can’t also claim legitimising role)
-plays important role in scrutinising legislation
-committees provide gov with valuable info and advice
-members of HOL can serve as gov ministers
-wisdom & experience means that the questions for gov and their less politically toxic chamber debates can rise vital issues of public concern
