6 October 2013 the House of Lords had 771 members.Less than 90 of them were hereditary peers. The rest were life peers, named by the sovereign on the advice of the prime minister ,thus they could not pass on their little when they die. The main legislative function of peers is to examine and revise bills from the commons but the house can only delay a bill from becoming law for a maximum of 12 months. The lords cannot normally prevent proposed legislation from becoming law if the commons insists on it
