For centuriesthe House of Lords has provoked blind adorationblind rage and often public merriment.Opening with a knockabout eyewitness account of Mrs Thatcher's entry into the Other Place she had so long despisedacclaimed writeractor and man of the theatre John Wells now tells the full history of this unique hereditary institution. Since the Roman occupationsome kind of Senate has always existed in Britainbut it was in the 14thC that a Chamber of Peersdistinct and separate from the House of Commonsemerged. While the Commons represented the Communes the peoplethe Lords represented no one but themselves.Even the Bishopswho were in a sense the first democratically elected members of Parliament being chosen by their own clergydid not represent either the Church or their own diocese but were simply Wise Men with the right to advise the Head of State.Explaining the historical origins of their bizarre ritualsJohn Wells throws vivid light on the present-day institution and its possible future.In a series of dramaticlashbacks including the murder of Thomas Beckett Cromwell'sabolition of the Lords and the Great Reform BillWells demonstrates the House's record on Europeits political value as a sheet-anchor in stormy weather and its attitude to order just or unjust.By way of a description of the old Palace of Westminster before the fire of 1834 and a guide to the present buildingthe author brings us to the modern political arena with Wedgwood Benn's famous renunciation of his father's peeragegives a Press Gallery view of the Great Maastricht Debatetalks to the Black Rod penetrates the inner sanctum of the Lord Great Chamberlain's Chamberand meets the guardian of the Kremlina place of mystery under the Victoria Tower.
