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.

Salisbury Convention
Asked by: Richard Holden (Conservative - Basildon and Billericay) Tuesday 6th May 2025 Question to the Cabinet Office: To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, if he will make an assessment of the potential impact of the House of Lords (Hereditary Peers) Bill on the Salisbury-Addison Convention in the House of Lords. Answered by Nick Thomas-Symonds - Paymaster General and Minister for the Cabinet Office The conventions concerning the relationship between the House of Commons and the House of Lords are unaffected by the House of Lords (Hereditary Peers) Bill. The Bill fulfills a manifesto commitment to remove the right of hereditary peers to sit and vote in the House of Lords. As such, the Bill clearly engages the Salisbury-Addison convention.

House of Lords: Reform
Asked by: Baroness Smith of Llanfaes (Plaid Cymru - Life peer) Wednesday 16th April 2025 Question to the Cabinet Office: To ask His Majesty's Government whether they will publish a timeline for subsequent House of Lords reform after the House of Lords (Hereditary Peers) Bill has concluded. Answered by Baroness Anderson of Stoke-on-Trent - Baroness in Waiting (HM Household) (Whip) Alongside the passage of the House of Lords (Hereditary Peers) Bill, the government has been engaged in a dialogue with the House on how we can best implement the Government’s other manifesto commitments. I look forward to continuing that dialogue and considering how to approach it in a more structured way.
