The House of Lords is drawn from the Peers of the Realm. The complete, current roll — Grand Dukedoms, Dukedoms, Counties & Earldoms, Baronies, Life Peers, Grayson Steadholders, and the peers of the allied star nations — is maintained on the '''[[Peerage|Roll of Peers]]'''. | |||
A peer takes up the legislative business of the House by opting into '''Seated''' status with the Lord Speaker; Seated status (rather than the roll itself) determines active participation, and is administered by the House rather than published as a standing list. | |||
