If you can can get behind the Times pay wall - here is more on the story - Lazy peers to be told: four debates or you’re out

Also more can be found on the ‘Lords of the Blog’ site: Uncharted Territory for the Lords which touches on issue of late night sittings and a guillotine on sittings. They also have a really useful page simply called The Lords Explained - it does just that.
