Brexit and Exit
Description
This episode of the exclusive behind-the-scenes documentary returns to the House as Brexit hits the lords with a bang when they vote on leaving Europe and become the center of the nation's attention. They also have their biggest ceremonial day of the year when the Queen pays her annual visit. Lords turn out in massive numbers to have their say on the most important issue in decades and decide whether to rebel on Brexit or not. And on Queen's Speech day, there are ermine gowns to put on and ancient traditions to follow, but Her Majesty's impending arrival isn't exciting Lord Foulkes, who feels it is an irritating distraction. The House's Victorian sewage system is on its last legs and not equipped to deal with so many lords. To fix the many structural problems, an inquiry is considering a dramatic move for the five or so years the work will take. Some lords have radical overhaul plans of their own and want the size of the House cut. And Baroness D'Souza is worrying about peers who claim their expenses without contributing and has some new research.
