Theresa May has been urged by Labour to hold a constitutional convention in attack on British culture, suggesting the removal of ceremonial robes, which are rarely worn.
The incoming PM is thought to be less than opposed to reform of the ancient Lords, picking up from David Cameron's suggestion of limiting the powers of the Lords, especially after the recent voting down of cuts to tax credits, backed by the government and passed by the commons.
