Rename the House of Lords to the House of Peers.
Changing the name of the House of Lords to the House of Peers, to reflect the actual membership of this institution including over 200 women who are currently peers.
In today's society it is unacceptable for a Government institution to have a name that reflects only the males in that body.
It undermines the work that the many woman have done to be inducted in this House.
These women and future women deserve to have their gender recognised. By naming it the House of Peers, it will also future proof anyone inducted into this house in the future, regardless of how they choose to describe their gender.
You can't sign this petition because it was rejected. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
This is a matter for the House of Lords, not the UK Government or House of Commons. We can't accept petitions calling on the House of Lords to take action.
You could contact the Lord Speaker, or the Leader of the House of Lords, asking them to take steps to change the name of the House of Lords. You can find their contact information below:
