Time to get rid of the House of Lords?

Lord Sewel has resigned from the House of Lords after being filmed allegedly taking drugs with prostitutes.
In a letter he wrote that his continued membership could "damage and undermine public confidence in the House of Lords."
Viewer Janet Bloomfield said the saga had raised questions about the role of the Upper House.
We discussed some of the issues with peers, Lord Rodney Elton, Baroness Jenny Jones, Baroness Shreela Flather and Lord David Lawrence Lipsey, along with members of the public.
