Who appoints life peers in the House of Lords?

Correct Answer: The monarch

Life peers in the House of Lords are appointed by the monarch, acting on the advice of the Prime Minister.

Life peers hold a seat in the Lords for their lifetime but cannot pass the title to their children. They are distinguished from hereditary peers, of whom only 92 remain in the Lords following the House of Lords Act 1999.
