Best Answer

In the House of Lords, the members themselvesare responsible for keeping order. Generally, the Leader of the House of Lords (a minister for Her Majesty's Government) plays a persuasive role in determining which side should speak next and to resolve other issues of order; however, the House of Lords, by resolution, has the formal authority to make all determinations with respect to its practices and the maintenance of order.

It should be noted that there is a Lord Speaker in the House of Lords, but the role is a stark contrast to the Speaker of the House of Commons. In the chamber, the Lord Speaker puts questions to the House, announces results of votes, and provides procedural advice; the Lord Speaker does not decide on points of order, and has no authority to reprimand or call to order members of the House of Lords.
