Life Peers

Asked by Mike WoodConservativeCabinet OfficeTabled Answered 8 September 2025UIN 74667

The question

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, how many non-party political life peers he intends to ask the Commission to nominate in 2025.

Answered by Nick Thomas-Symonds

It is for the Prime Minister to make recommendations to the Sovereign on new peers. As set out in his written ministerial statement of 19 June 2025, in doing so he will continue to ask the House of Lords Appointments Commission to nominate individuals to sit as Crossbench peers.

Any such appointments will subsequently be announced by the Commission in the usual way.
