In May 2000 a change was made to the way in which non–party–political members of the House of Lords are appointed. The House of Lords Appointments Commission was given the key role of recommending to Her Majesty The Queen the names of individuals we think should be appointed on merit.

The public are asked to self–nominate or to nominate others they think should be appointed to the House of Lords and the Commission assesses all the nominations against the published criteria. [1]
