peerage

The prime minister is under no constitutional obligation to elevate members of opposition parties, but will often ask opposition leaders to nominate individuals for peerage.

He was awarded a life peerage by former PM Tony Blair in 1999.

The story she told time and time again to a grateful media brought her fame, riches, and even a peerage.

In July 2001 he was found guilty and spent two years in jail, but retained his peerage and membership of the House of Lords as there was no mechanism to remove them at the time.

I'm sad but I think what will happen... is that the very best of the hereditary peers will be invited to have a life peerage.
