The House of Lords has ancient roots though it has changed very fundamentally over the years .
By the time of Charles I , there were already concerns that too many new peerages were being created.
Pressure grew for the creation of life peerages rather than allowing members to pass their seat in the Lords on.
By 1957 , half of members owed their hereditary peerages to 20th century creations.
Reform was originally intended to sweep away all hereditary peers in 1999 .
But deal between parties allowed 92 to remain with replacements when these peers died or retired.
88 hereditary peers currently serve in the chamber, all of them are men, 45 are Conservative .
43 ( 49% ) hold peerages created only in the 20th century .
