House of Lords: Members' Remuneration
- Question
- To ask Her Majesty’s Government how many Ministers in the House of Lords are remunerated and to which parties they belong; how many Ministers in the House of Lords are not remunerated and to which parties they belong; and for what reasons some Ministers are not remunerated.
- Answer
-
There are 16 paid Ministers in the House of Lords: 13 are Conservatives and three are Liberal Democrats. There are 10 unpaid Ministers in the House of Lords: seven are Conservative and three are Liberal Democrat. The Ministerial and other Salaries Act 1975 limits the total number of paid Ministers to 109 and the coalition Government work within the limits set by this legislation. Unpaid Ministers are appointed on the basis of need in order to meet the challenge of delivering the programme for government.
