	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 28/03/2024 answer text <p>The House of Lords has a key role in scrutinising the executive and as a revising chamber. The Government has made no assessment of the merits of reducing the number of sitting peers and notes that unlike the Commons, peers are not full-time salaried legislators. It is important to focus on the number of peers who attend, and not just the number eligible to sit. Existing mechanisms allow sitting peers to retire or resign.</p> answering member constituency Brentwood and Ongar answering member printed Alex Burghart question first answered 28/03/2024 17:26:09 answering member 4613 label Biography information for Alex Burghart
