In a nutshell…
Lords of the Blog began as a test project, encouraging dialogue between web users and Members of the House of Lords.
It's now a permanent fixture, with Members of the Lords writing blogs on their specialist areas or making guest appearances to discuss the work of the House.
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).
If you have any comments about the blog, please use our feedback form.
This site is managed by the non-partisan Hansard Society - a political education and research charity - as part of its commitment to Parliamentary democracy.
