The position of Lord Keeper of the Privy Seal dates back to 1307 , older than any great office of state apart from Lord Chancellor, another title that still exists.

It was trying to get rid of the latter post that resulted in ill-conceived constitutional reforms, the consequences of which are felt to this day .

Many Labour MPs want to abolish the House of Lords and replace it with an elected second chamber.

Previous attempts to overhaul the Upper House have foundered because the Commons does not want a second chamber of equal weight to its own.

But even if Labour goes no further, the final removal of the hereditary peers is still a significant moment.
