Member of the House of Lords

A Member of the House of Lords is an individual who serves as part of the UK's upper legislative chamber. Unlike Members of Parliament (MPs) in the House of Commons, Lords are not elected by the public; instead, they are appointed, inherit their position, or hold specific religious or professional titles. Their primary role is to review, amend, and scrutinize legislation proposed by the elected House of Commons, providing expertise and diverse perspectives. The House of Lords acts as a revising chamber, helping to ensure laws are well-considered before becoming official.
