Question to the Cabinet Office:

To ask His Majesty's Government, further to the Written Answer by Baroness Neville-Rolfe on 24 October (HL2390), how many members of the House of Lords were present at the Accession Council on the 10 September, broken down by (1) the Conservative, (2) Labour, (3) Crossbench, and (4) Liberal Democrat, benches.

The published list of attendees at the Accession Council held on 10th September 2022 is available on the Privy Council website, and can be found here. This includes both members of the House of Lords and non-members. Attendees were identified on an ex-officio basis, or by ballot, and we do not hold a separate list identifying those who were members of the House of Lords or their affiliates.

The Privy Council Office does not record information relating to past or present political party memberships held by Privy Counsellors.
