In last month’s national election for the lower house, Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s Conservatives won a swathe of seats in the traditional northern English heartlands of the opposition Labour Party as he secured a large majority in parliament.

With a view to securing these gains, Johnson has promised to ramp up investment in the north of England, which suffered under the decline of heavy industries and austerity policies since the financial crisis.

Asked by Sky News whether the government was planning to move the House of Lords to York, Cleverly said: “We might. It’s one of a range of things that we are looking into.”

פריער, די זונטאג Times reported that York, founded by the Romans and famed for its large cathedral, is first choice for the move, ahead of Birmingham, Britain’s second-largest city.

The House of Lords, Britain’s unelected upper house of parliament, has the power to block laws but functions mainly as a mechanism to refine and seek revisions to laws which are enacted in the elected House of Commons.
