Who has been given a peerage? Full list of people nominated to House


0


Sir Keir Starmer has nominated 30 former Labour MPs, staff and union leaders to the House of Lords.

Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch has nominated six people, while Lib Dem leader Sir Ed Davey has put forward two.

The independent House of Lords Appointments Commission will vet the nominations before the prime minister recommends them to the King.

A title then has to be agreed and legal documents called the writ of summons are issued by parliament, and a letters patent issued by the King to create a life peerage. They can then sit in the House of Lords and vote.

Here is the full list:
