The 92 remaining hereditary seats in the House of Lords will be eliminated when Parliament ends in May, though a compromise allows 15 Conservative hereditary peers to convert to life peerages.

Hereditary peerages will be abolished, with hereditary peers losing their seats after the current parliamentary session ends, though some will receive life peerages as part of a deal that secured Conservative support.

The House of Lords will eliminate the remaining 92 hereditary peers through new legislation, completing a reform begun in 1999 by offering life peerages to some affected Conservative and crossbench members.
