<p>The number of Peers attending the Chamber for the State Opening of Parliament is
not recorded; but all of the approximately 180 available spaces for Members of the
House were occupied for the State Opening this year. This figure does not include
14 Lords spiritual or eight members of the House who were either part of the procession
or hold certain offices and were present in the Chamber due to the offices they hold.
We do not have records to say how this compares to previous State Openings.</p>
