Announcement

The Clerk of the Parliaments announced the result of the by-election to elect a Labour hereditary Peer, in place of Lord Rea, in accordance with Standing Order 9.

Only one candidate submitted a candidacy form, so there was no requirement for a ballot to take place. Accordingly, Viscount Stansgate was certified as the successful candidate. A notice detailing the result is in the Printed Paper Office and online.
