How long does a peerage last?
There are two types of peers: life peers and hereditary peers. LIfe peerages are awarded for life only and the titles are not passed onto heirs. They are awarded by the Queen on the advice of the Prime Minister. Many life peers are political appointments to ensure political presence of the main political parties in the House of Lords. The Archbishops of Canterbury and York usually get life peerages on retirement, as do former Speakers of the House of Commons, Prime Ministers, Home, Defence and Foreign Secretaries and Chancellors. The 1999 House of Lords Act cut the number of hereditary peers entitled to a seat in the House of Lords from over 700 to 92 and ended the right to pass membership of the Lords down through the family.
What are facts about parliament?
The House of Lords is the Upper Chamber of the British Parliament, and has to approve proposed changes to the law before they can be enacted. In the past, the Lords used to made up of 'peers'- aristocrats who had a hereditary right to sit in the Lords and be a part of Government. Although a few of these hereditary peers remain, the Lords is nowadays mostly made up of ordinary people who have been ennobled to the rank of Lord or Lady by the Queen- these can be former political leaders or members from the House of Commons, or persons who have made an outstanding contribution to the fields of arts, local government, science, law or the armed services. Anglican bishops and some High Court judges also have the right to sit in the Lords. Although they hold debates in their own right, the Lords have to approve any amendments to the law that the House of Commons has voted in favour of. At this stage, the proposal is known as a 'bill'. If the bill is passed, then it becomes law, but if it is rejected by the Lords, then it has to go back to the Commons to be amended to take account of the Lord's objections. Sometimes, bills are just dropped because no amendments to them CAN be made enough to satisfy the Lord's objections. The House of Commons does retain a right of veto over the Lord's decisions, and could if it wanted to overrule the Lords and make something law anyway. But this hardly ever happens in practice, as it is seen as anti-democratic; the last time this was done was in 2003, when Prime Minister Tony Blair was so determined to take Britain to war in Iraq that he overruled the Lord's opposition to it and went ahead regardless. Only the most ruthless and undemocratic of Prime Ministers, such as Blair and Margaret Thatcher, would contemplate such a move.
