Two Peers Skipped 98.88% of Lords Sessions

Published 2 weeks, 2 days ago
Description

Two peers in Britains House of Lords, Evgeny Lebedev and Ian Botham, have the lowest attendance rates over the past four years, with each showing up for just 7 out of 625 sessions. Lebedev has recently increased his participation, while Bothams attendance has been sporadic. The Lords operates differently from the Commons, with members often having outside jobs and contributing sporadically. The chambers massive size of 868 members, the worlds largest outside Chinas National Peoples Congress, makes efforts to shrink it challenging. Johnson and Starmers appointments have kept the Lords packed, keeping attendance debates alive.
