BBC article today.

Miliband wants to replace HOL with a 'senate'.

Silly name IMO and poor idea, HOL may be unelected but tend to be more expert in measures and moderate the more stupid and populous ideas. Also seems odd that he would prefer lords not to be from rural areas that historically are under represented (Maria Eagle for example), but then they are hardly Labour strongholds compared to the Northwest...
