This Bill would require the Secretary of State to prepare and lay before Parliament a report evaluating the merits of the House of Lords meeting in a large ballroom in Blackpool. It does not itself relocate the Lords; instead it mandates a formal assessment of whether such a move would be appropriate, considering factors like costs, logistics, and constitutional implications.

Key Points

  • Imposes a duty on the Secretary of State to report to Parliament on the merits of holding Lords' sessions in a Blackpool ballroom.
  • Does not itself relocate the Lords; it requires a formal assessment before any relocation decision.
  • The report could inform future debates or legislation about where the Lords meet.
