About Lord Whitty’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).
