Lord Brabazon of Tara
There is still missing the next by election caused by his retirement. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 93.234.153.115 (talk) 09:28, 19 April 2022 (UTC)

Lord Carrington
Since he's now an ex officio member, will there be an election to fill his elected seat? 2601:241:300:B610:193A:2B99:A09A:E278 (talk) 16:17, 15 October 2022 (UTC)


 * Not sure - does he not take the place of whichever peer has replaced him as Lord Chamberlain? OGBC1992 (talk) 10:05, 17 October 2022 (UTC)
 * If the seat to which he was earlier elected hasn’t been vacated, wouldn’t that mean he’s essentially holding two seats at once (one of the ex officio seats and one of the elected seats)? 170.76.231.175 (talk) 20:28, 27 February 2023 (UTC)
 * The House of Lords Act 1999 indicates that there shall be 90 excepted hereditary peers and those excepted as Earl Marshal and Lord Great Chamberlain shall not count towards that limit. The Lord Carrington was elected as one of the 90 in 2018 and became Lord Great Chamberlain in 2022. I think that the interpretation is that he continues to be excepted as one of the 90 and that he didn't became excepted as Lord Great Chamberlain last year as he was already a member of the House. Therefore, no-one is excepted as Lord Great Chamberlain at the moment. --Editor FIN (talk) 07:40, 21 March 2023 (UTC)
