Peers: Public Appointments
Asked by: Jim McMahon (Labour (Co-op) - Oldham West, Chadderton and Royton) Tuesday 23rd December 2025 Question to the Cabinet Office: To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, what assessment he has made of the regional representation of new peers appointed for each year since 2015 to the current December 2025 list. Answered by Nick Thomas-Symonds - Paymaster General and Minister for the Cabinet Office The House of Lords works best when there is a diversity of perspectives represented, including from all the nations and regions of the United Kingdom. The Prime Minister published a statement in June 2025, setting out the roles and responsibilities of those involved in the appointments system, in which he emphasised that party leaders should consider national and regional representation when making nominations, to ensure the second chamber better reflects the country it serves. As a first step in reform of the House of Lords, the Government introduced the House of Lords (Hereditary Peers) Bill which removes the right of hereditary peers to sit and vote in the House of Lords. The Government’s priority is to get this Bill on the statute book as soon as possible.

Answered by Nick Thomas-Symonds - Paymaster General and Minister for the Cabinet Office As stated in the Answer of 24 July, the Government intends to propose the establishment of a House of Lords Select Committee to look at how best to implement the manifesto commitments on a retirement age and participation requirement.
