The Work of the House of Lords
After each session the House of Lords produces an informative booklet about its work. It could be a very dull list of statistics and lists (Analysis of divisions on bills; Lists of Committee Reports; Statistics about Party Strengths; Sitting Days...) - it has these - so academics and others who love to have information on hand [I believe we are called 'geeks'] can be happy...
...but it also has lots of descriptions of the process that particular bills went through, and some of the interesting debates held.
The latest edition can be found here. Earlier editions can be accessed at http://www.parliament.uk/mps-lords-and-offices/offices/lords/house-of-lords-information-office/work/
