The spaces of subgroups and Lie subalgebras with the group actions by conjugations are considered for real Lie groups. Our approach allows one to apply the properties of algebraically regular transformation groups to finding the conditions when those actions turn out to be type I. It follows, in particular, that in this case the stability groups for all the ergodic actions of such groups are conjugate (for example when the stability groups are compact). The isomorphism of the stability groups for ergodic actions is also established under some assumptions. A number of examples of non-conjugate and non-isomorphic stability groups are presented.
