Peers

Question
When the next crop of Peers is finally in, what will be the proportion of Peers on each of the Benches?

My Lords, appointments are entirely in the hands of the Prime Minister, but the coalition agreement indicated that pending long-term reform of the House, we would gradually move towards appointments made more in proportion to the political parties in the House of Commons.
