The House of Lords Reform Bill 2012 was a proposed Act of Parliament of the United Kingdom introduced to the House of Commons in June 2012 by Nick Clegg. Among other reforms, the bill would have made the House of Lords a mostly elected body.[1] It was abandoned by the British Government in August 2012 and formally withdrawn on 3 September 2012,[2] following opposition from within the Conservative Party.
