Private members' bills
Private members' bills are draft laws, which affect everyone, proposed by individual members of the House of Lords rather than the government.
Ballot
At the start of each session of Parliament, a ballot is held to allocate the order in which the first 25 private members' bills will be introduced in the Lords.
