House of Lords Composition
Asked by: Richard Holden (Conservative - Basildon and Billericay) Thursday 24th July 2025 Question to the Cabinet Office: To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, pursuant to the written ministerial statement of 19 June 2025, on House of Lords Appointments, HCWS718, whether the Prime Minister has a target size for the number of sitting peers in the House of Lords. Answered by Nick Thomas-Symonds - Paymaster General and Minister for the Cabinet Office As appointments are for life, the second chamber has become too big. The Government’s manifesto therefore included a commitment to introduce a retirement age for members of the House of Lords.
The Government intends to propose the establishment of a dedicated select committee in the House of Lords to look at how best to implement the manifesto commitments on a retirement age and participation requirement, following the passage of the House of Lords (Hereditary Peers) Bill.
