About Baroness Kennedy of The Shaws’s role

The House of Lords is the UK Parliament’s second chamber. Peers scrutinise legislation, question the government and debate public policy. Unlike MPs, they are not elected — most members are appointed as life peers, with a residual group of hereditary peers and 26 bishops from the Church of England (the Lords Spiritual).
