For each of the sessions requested, I have set out below the number of those peers eligible to take part in the work of the House of Lords sitting on the Conservative, Labour and Liberal Democrat benches at the end of that session; and the difference between the number of peers on the Government benches as on the benches of the two largest political parties in opposition in each case. 1998-99 - Conservative - 484; Labour - 193; Liberal Democrat - 72. There were 363 more peers sitting on the opposition benches than Government benches. 2003-04 - Conservative - 202; Labour - 201; Liberal Democrat - 68. There were 69 more peers sitting on the opposition benches than Government benches. 2008-09 - Conservative - 189; Labour - 212; Liberal Democrat - 71. There were 48 more peers sitting on the opposition benches than Government benches. 2013-14 - Conservative - 220; Labour - 218; Liberal Democrat - 99. There were 101 more peers sitting on the Government benches than opposition benches.
