As far as the bare parliamentary system goes, nothing prevents the Prime Minister from being in the Upper House; the Marquess of Salisbury was the last PM from the House of Lords, while in Canada John Abbott was the only Senator PM. But I think most constitutional scholars would say that by now, a convention has evolved (which in the British system can have the status of part of the Constitution) that the PM must come from the House.
