Yup, and they are doing a damn fine job of it.
Which demonstrates how dodgy this government is in wanting to replace the current house of lords which works fine, with an elected one which runs the risk of lords doing what they think will get them re-elected (as happens in the commons) simply because the lords are a block for Labour to introduce it's badly thoughtout legislation.
