Jack Straw, the Justice Secretary, has suggested elected members of the reformed House of Lords could be limited to serving 15-year terms
"Under plans due to be put before Parliament within months, the appointed chamber would move to a substantially or wholly elected upper house.
Mr Straw said that a third of peers – or senators as they may be called after the reforms – could be elected at the time of a general election.
None would be able to serve for more than 15 years".
