I have not heard of anyon being booted out of the House of Lords...but I am happy to be corrected on this if anyone knows differently.

The house of lords (expulsion and suspension) act 2015 allow for Peers to be kicked out but it cannot be used retrospectively, for example to get rid of Geoffrey Archer when he was imprisoned.
Prior to this , Peers could be suspended but had to be allowed back.
