Peers who attend the House of Lords fewer than four times a year face being “retired” from parliament under Government plans to reduce the size of the upper house, according to politicshome.com.

Also more can be found on the ‘Lords of the Blog’ site: Uncharted Territory for the Lords which touches on issue of late night sittings and a guillotine on sittings. They also have a really useful page simply called The Lords Explained - it does just that.
