1. Creation of life peers

It is the Life Peerages Act 1958 that enables life peers to be created with the right to sit in the House of Lords.1 The Act also allowed female life peers to be appointed, marking the first occasion women could sit in the House of Lords.2

The power is conferred on the sovereign, who can create peers through letters patent on advice of the prime minister (although this relationship is not set out in the Act).

There is no statutory limit on the number of new peerages. It is the prime minister who decides what number is appropriate.

By convention, when recommending peerages for members of political parties other than their own, prime ministers take advice from the leader of that party. In practice, prime ministers will ask for that party’s nominations to a number of the prime minister’s choosing. In addition, the House of Lords Appointments Commission makes recommendations to the prime minister for non-party political (crossbench) peers. The commission also vets party nominations for propriety.

Life peers could also be created under the Appellate Jurisdiction Act 1876. This Act was used to appoint a small number of law lords to the House. However, these powers are no longer available following the end of the House of Lords’ judicial role in 2009.

More information on the Life Peerages Act 1958 can be found in the Lords Library briefing: Life Peerages Act 1958: 60th Anniversary, 28 March 2018.

2. Statistics

Please note: the date of a new appointment referred to in this briefing is the date of the announcement of a new peerage, rather than the date of letters patent conferring the peerage or the date of introduction to the House of Lords. This makes it easier to compare the rate of new appointments to the Lords over time, as there can sometimes be a gap of weeks or months between the announcement of an intention to create a new peerage and the date on which a new Member is introduced in the Lords.

While this method does ensure consistency, it does not follow that all appointments announced during a particular prime minister’s term of office were recommended by that prime minister: Theresa May’s resignation

honours list, for example, was issued in September 2019, during Boris Johnson’s premiership. Therefore, these peers are classified as having been appointed by Boris Johnson.

2.1 How many life peers have been created?

As of 5 January 2021, including those life peers recently announced by Boris Johnson, 1,517 life peers will have been created under the 1958 Act.

Just over 1 in 5 (21%) life peer appointments have been women. Of the 1,517, 1,191 have been men and 326 women.

Around a third of life peerages (502) have been awarded to former MPs.

In terms of affiliation at the time of creation:

• 481 (32%) were affiliated to the Conservative Party at the time of creation; • 509 (33%) were affiliated to Labour; • 146 (10%) were affiliated to Liberal Democrats (or the Liberals or Social Democratic Party); • 360 (24%) were Crossbench; and • 21 (1%) were of another party or were non-affiliated.

The following table shows life peer creations broken down by the prime minister in office at the time of the creation:

The following graph shows life peer creations by calendar year since 2000.4 It shows that the largest number of life peer creations (121) occurred in 2010, when the Conservative-Liberal Democrat Government came into power. The second largest number of appointments were made in 2020 (58 life peers), closely followed by 2015 (57 life peers).

However, it was subsequently announced that he would sit as a non-affiliated Member (HL Hansard, 22 May 2018, col 982). 4 The dates used are the dates the life peers were announced. 4 House of Lords Library Briefing I Life Peers Since 1958

ministers tend to appoint more peers in their first year (in part, due to nominations from previous prime ministers). He has announced 79 peers so far. For comparison, Tony Blair created 69 life peers in his first year and David Cameron created 117.

Years served has been rounded up or down as follows:

• John Major: 7 years • Tony Blair: 10 years • Gordon Brown: 3 years • David Cameron: 6 years • Theresa May: 3 years

Figure 2: Average life peer creations per year by the last five prime ministers

The graph shows that creations per year were highest under David Cameron and lowest under Gordon Brown. However, it is again worth noting that these were the creations during their time in office. Therefore, many included appointments that were nominated by the previous prime minister via resignation or dissolution lists. It also would not account for their own resignation or dissolution lists, which would have been announced under the tenure of their successor

2.2 Statistics by decade

The following graphs and tables show breakdowns of life peerage creations by decade. This includes numbers in each decade and the proportion of creations that were female or were former MPs. To keep it as complete decades, the current decade (ie the first seven months of 2020) is excluded. House of Lords Library Briefing I Life Peers Since 1958 5

The figures show:

• The largest number of life peer creations occurred in the 1990s, and the lowest number occurred in the 1980s. However, 1999 also saw over 600 hereditary peers leave the House under the House of Lords Act 1999. • The 1970s saw the highest proportion of former MPs join, with the lowest proportion created in the 2010s. • The 2010s featured the highest proportion of female life peer creations, with the 1960s and the 1980s having the joint-lowest rate (at 10%).

3. Appointments Commission peers

Following the passage of the House of Lords Act 1999, Tony Blair, then prime minister, announced the establishment of a non-statutory appointments commission to assist with the nomination of non-party- political peers.5

Since the first group nominated by the Commission became peers in 2001, 70 new appointments to the crossbenches have been made in this way. They are typically people who were distinguished public servants.6

Other appointments to the crossbenches have continued to be made following recommendation by the prime minister.

5 House of Lords Appointments Commission, ‘Commission’, accessed 12 August 2020. 6 In January 2005, Tony Blair announced “I continue to nominate direct to Her Majesty the Queen a limited number of distinguished public servants on retirement. I have decided that the number of appointments covered under this arrangement will not exceed ten in any one Parliament” (HC Hansard, 25 January 2005, col 10WS). In June 2014, David Cameron announced that the criteria had been extended: “I continue to nominate direct to Her Majesty the Queen a limited number of candidates for crossbench peerages, based on their public service. I am extending the criteria for these recommendations to ensure they can properly encompass a range of individuals with a proven track record of public service, not solely public servants on retirement”. He confirmed that the nominations would continue to be vetted by the House of Lords Appointments Commission; and that “The number of appointments covered under this arrangement will remain unchanged at a maximum of ten in any one Parliament” (HC Hansard, 26 June 2014, col 37WS).

Member, the list shows:

• title (with the exception of some of the last peers to be announced, as this will be set out in each appointee’s forthcoming letters patent); • full name; • gender; • date announced; • prime minister in power; • party in power; • type of nominations list (eg whether the announcements formed part of a dissolution list (that marking the end of a Parliament), a prime minister’s resignation list, etc); • party of peer at creation; and • whether peer was a former MP.

Note: Andrew Tyrie is listed as Conservative, as he was originally included among the Conservative Party’s nominations for new Members.7 However, it was subsequently announced that he would sit as a non-affiliated Member.8
