In a nutshell…
Launched in early 2008, Lords of the Blog encourages dialogue between the public and Members of the House of Lords. This is where Members of the Lords write blogs on their specialist areas and talk about life and work in the House of Lords. We have a growing number of regular contributors as well as guest appearances from other Peers. If you'd like to know more about how the Lords of the Blog project has developed since 2008 read our Media Briefing here.
All the authors write the blog posts themselves and welcome your comments. They will try to respond to most comments, but please remember to keep them on topic (read our terms and conditions if you are unsure).
Opinions expressed by the authors/bloggers are their own and don't represent those of the House of Lords, its administration or other Members (including parties and other groups of Members).
This site is managed by the Hansard Society - the UK's leading political education and research charity - as part of its commitment to Parliamentary democracy. If you have any comments about the blog, please email us.

Steph: Well done. You win on the basis of your first two responses. In your second, you picked up on the ones I thought would likely to be overlooked. I did not include Lord Elis-Thomas because he was President rather than Leader of Plaid Cymru. I also exclude those who have led their party in a particular part of the UK.
