Speaking in the House of Lords on 2 July 2025

Debate

House of Lords (Hereditary Peers) Bill

Contribution

Membership of the House of Lords for the Earl Marshal and Lord Great Chamberlain costs the Government nothing whatever, yet it is a way for thanking them and their families for centuries of loyal, efficient and invaluable service to the state. Indeed, to strip them of it is, frankly, an act of rank ingratitude, and I hope the Government will think again. I beg to move.
