House of Lords (Hereditary Peers) BillContribution
The noble Earl, Lord Devon, correctly identifies that the Cross-Bench group is in a very different position here as well. The Prime Minister and the noble Baroness, Lady Stowell, asked about numbers. The Prime Minister will continue to invite nominations to the Cross Benches from HOLAC. It is an open application assessment process to identify and select new Cross-Bench Peers from all walks of life. Those nominations are, by convention, passed on to the sovereign.
