asked the Chairman of Committees:How the provisions for access to the House by hereditary Peers excluded under the Provisions of the House of Lords Act 1999 will be enforced.[HL728]

Access to the facilities of the House by excluded hereditary Peers will be enforced by the staff of the House if misuse of the agreed privileges occurs. Junior staff may not know who is an "excluded hereditary Peer"; but when any breach of the agreed provisions is reported to management, appropriate action will be taken immediately. Enforcement of the rules governing access to the facilities of the House by excluded hereditary Peers is ultimately the responsibility of Black Rod.
