In 2026 the House of Lords faces election of their new Lord Speaker

In 2026, the House of Lords faces election on when their new Lord Speaker should be elected after the confirmation that the incumbent will resign at the expiration of their tenure.

This is an important constitutional role, tasked with the duties of leading the proceedings of the House of Lords, and the promotion of the House and the maintenance of its standards and independence. This is even though this is supposed to be the non-partisan holder of the post.

For anyone who follows constitutional matters and the workings of Parliament, the forthcoming election, of course, provides a reminder of how leadership changeovers occur within the Lords and how established roles within the institution are constantly evolving.

When it comes to reform and accountability, no aspect is ever overlooked in discussions around public trust, particularly when it comes to parliamentary leadership changes.
