In Amendments 58 and 59, the noble Lord, Lord Parkinson of Whitley Bay, attempts to broaden out the list of recommended peerages in statute to serving and future leaders of public services. This includes the heads of the Armed Forces, the security and intelligence services, the police services, the Civil Service and the BBC. As the presence of many current Members of this House testifies, there is no doubt that many individuals in these ranks do make, and would make, excellent Members of your Lordships’ House.
