<p>The rotation rule was last considered by the Procedure Committee in March 2014
(5th Report, Session 2013-14, HL Paper 167). Its proposal to reduce the length of
membership from four successive sessions to three, in order to secure a regular turnover
of membership and therefore broaden participation in the work of the House’s committees
by members, was agreed to by the House (HL Deb 13 May 2014, cols 1771-1775).</p><p>
</p><p>I have no plans to present further proposals to change the rotation rule to
the Procedure Committee. However, other members are welcome to submit their own proposals
to the Procedure Committee for its consideration.</p>
