Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In the early 20th century, the House of Lords, made up of hereditary peers, had the power to veto legislation passed by the House of Commons. This meant that progressive social reform measures supported by the Liberal Party, such as the introduction of old age pensions and the establishment of a national insurance system, could be blocked by the Lords. To overcome this obstacle, Lloyd George proposed the Parliament Act of 1911, which drastically curtailed the power of the House of Lords and gave the House of Commons supremacy in passing legislation.
