Nicky Campbell asks what the point of the House of Lords is.

David Cameron will announce a new raft of unelected peers which he's chosen later, but it comes after recent front-page drug taking scandals, and reports of thousands of pounds being claimed in expenses for not much work.
What exactly does this unelected body do for you? Is the House of Lords an outdated, bloated, unaccountable institution -- or vital for scrutinising and protecting our laws...and what this country stands for?
