What happens in the House of Lords Chamber each day?
Each sitting day the Members of the Lords start by questioning government ministers in the Chamber to find out what they are doing, or propose to do, on any subject (Oral Questions). After Oral Questions, Lords may then examine and improve draft legislation. This may have begun in the House of Commons or the House of Lords. Members may also debate important topics to highlight what the House thinks on an issue, signalling their views to the country and the Government.
