The composition of the House of Lords is heavily skewed towards older, privately educated individuals, particularly men. Conservative peers have a higher proportion of private school backgrounds (56%) compared to Labour peers. This imbalance is particularly notable among bishops, with most being Oxford or Cambridge alumni. Labour's proposed reforms aimed to address this imbalance by introducing a mandatory retirement age, thereby reducing the overrepresentation of older members, and eliminating hereditary peers.
