Reviews

Peter Raina's books on the House of Lords provide the most comprehensive and authoritative history of the evolution of a central institution in the British Parliamentary system. It is an indispensable study. (Professor the Lord Plant of Highfield) Volume 4 is an extraordinary work of scholarship (Rt Hon. the Lord Lloyd of Berwick, former Lord Justice of Appeal and Attorney-General to the Prince of Wales) My congratulations on your achievement (Rt Hon. the Baroness Hayman, former Lords Speaker) I am delighted to have such detailed volumes about the time when I was involved in the politics of reform (Rt Hon the Baroness Jay of Paddington, former Leader of the House and Lord Privy Seal)
