What would become of old HOL chamber?
It jsut seems convenient to have the lords seconds away from the commons
i mean if you move it halfway up the country you interrupt a lot of stuff

Boris can just omit Bercow
beyond guessing former politicians, and floella benjamin, could you name a lord?
Lord Vader
