The House of Lords Act were a series of Acts passed by Parliament of Palmshire that restricted number of seats in the House of Lords regardless of how many peers there were. At the time, number of peerages created has rapidly risen since its first creation with only two peers in September and now stood at about thirteen. This situation led the Parliament to seriously consider restricting the number of seats in the House of Lords in order to reduce the chaos that may arise from such rapid increase in number. The original bill, which originally fixed the number at fourteen, were introduced by the Duke of Rockford at the first meeting of the House of Lords since its winter recess in 20 March 2011. During the debate, Rockford later proposed a motion to amend the bill to increase the number to fifteen but this was defeated. The bill was passed that day and given its Royal Assent the next day, becoming the original House of Lords Act.
The continuing relevance and importance of the House of Lords soon led to another bill passed as the House of Lords Amendment Act on 21 April 2011 that raised the limit to sixteen. However, House of Lords begin to decline as the House of Commons gradually took on more importance over it, as evident by another act passed on 17 July 2012 that later amended the April 2011 legislation to reduce the limit to twelve, which is one less than the original 2011 legislation's limit. Chris D's Socialist government is reportedly considering a bill to further reduce this number to four, as opposed to five seats in the House of Commons.
