Which of the following is NOT a function of the House of Lords?

Correct Answer: Cancel existing laws

The House of Lords cannot cancel existing laws — this is NOT one of its functions.

The functions of the House of Lords are:

Suggesting amendments to existing legislation
Checking laws passed by the House of Commons
Proposing new laws
Providing independent scrutiny and debate

The Lords can delay legislation for up to one year but cannot permanently block bills passed by the elected House of Commons.
