  House of Lords Reform - House of Lords to be abolished - rejected
  
  --- MOTION EFFECT ---
  
  
  <p>The issue in this division was whether considerations of House of Lords reform should also include whether to abolish the House of Lords completely and not replace it with anything, so that the House of Commons became the only chamber of Parliament.<sup>[1]</sup> Those voting Aye were indicating that, at least in theory, they thought that the upper chamber of Parliament could be abolished entirely. Those voting No were indicating that they believed that there had to be an upper chamber of Parliament in some form.</p>
