There are many all-party groups in Parliament. They draw on members from different parties, hence the name, as well as members from both Houses. Some, such as the all-party group on breast cancer, are especially active. Peers chair a good many groups. This week’s quiz focuses on all-party groups chaired by peers. As usual, the first two readers to supply the correct answers will be the winners.
1. I have served as a professor of palliative medicine and chair an all-party group related to dying. Who am I and what is the group?
2. I am a former Lord Spiritual and chair an all-party group designed to bring faiths together. Who am I and what is the group?
3. I chair the all-party group on drug abuse. Who am I?
4. I have served as President of the British Medical Association and chair the all-party group on Huntington’s Disease. Who am I?
This will be he last quiz of 2010. I presume readers wiil be busy with other activities over the festive season. I know I will be. One senior MP asked me what I was doing for Christmas and was a little surprised when I said that Christmas was a season for marking! A merry Christmas to all our readers.

I wish I had your work ethic, Lord Norton! I can only really spend time on things I enjoy/find interesting… but perhaps you do enjoy marking(!)
A merry Christmas to you, your Peers, and my fellow commenters.
