The Other House (also referred to as the Upper House House of Peers and House of Lords) established by the Lord Protector Oliver Cromwell under the terms of the Humble Petition and Advice was one of the two chambers of the Parliaments that legislated for England and Wales Scotland and Ireland in 1658 and 1659 the final years of the Protectorate.During the Rule of the Major-Generals and the selection of members for the Second Protectorate Parliament there was a firming of opinion that a second chamber was needed.During the debate over the Humble Petition and Advice the Lord Protector Oliver Cromwell and others wanted an upper chamber as a check on the power of the Lower House because he had found it difficult to control over the Naylor case.
