What happens to private members' bills introduced in the House of Lords?

Private members' bills introduced in the House of Lords are treated the same as all other public bills. This means that they are subject to the same legislative process that any bill would go through, including readings, debates, and committee scrutiny. The key distinction is that private members' bills are introduced by members of the legislature who are not government ministers and typically have less chance of becoming law due to limited parliamentary time and political priorities. The formal process in the House of Lords allows for discussions and potential alterations, giving members the opportunity to argue for their merits just like any public bill, even though the likelihood of passage may be lower.
