London faced a potential Lords revolt as the House bowed to the Labour government over the United States loan. Asquith’s 1911 Parliament Act powers loomed in history, but Attlee's era shows the Lords mostly as a display body with limited veto ability. The piece notes attendance drops and possible leverage by creating Liberal peers, though no official move confirmed.
