The House of Lords does not have the power to ultimately stop a new law proposed by the House of Commons, but it can delay legislation and suggest amendments. The Commons can override the Lords' objections by reintroducing the legislation and passing it again, which can happen after a specific period called "ping pong." Ultimately, the Commons has the final say in the legislative process.
