What was one major outcome of the House of Lords Act 1999?

The House of Lords Act 1999 had a significant impact on the structure of the House of Lords by abolishing the right of hereditary peers to sit in the House by virtue of their birthright. Before the act, a substantial number of hereditary peers could automatically take their seats. The reform aimed to make the House of Lords more democratic and accountable by reducing the influence of hereditary titles, allowing only 92 hereditary peers to remain temporarily until new reforms could be fully implemented. This change was crucial in reshaping the composition of the Lords, paving the way for further reforms that would focus on enhancing the legitimacy of the legislative process in the UK Parliament.
