Best Answer

Although The House of Lords is no longer the powerful 'entity' it used to be - it still has the power to veto any bills put before it. NO bill can be enacted into law without (a) the approval of the House of Lords and (b) the assent of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. The Lords still debate all bills put before them, and can (and do) send bills back to the House of Commons for amending. However - bills are rarely returned for amendment - and it's also extremely rare for Her Majesty to refuse the assent of bills sent for signature into law.
