More details

Previous speakers have been given a peerage at the end of their tenure. However in January 2019 the BBC announced that Rt Hon John Bercow may not receive his peerage. Something which is duly owed. https://www.google.co.uk/amp/s/www.bbc.co.uk/news/amp/uk-politics-46913477

As The Speaker he has conducted himself in an impartial manor at a time of great division within our country and HoC. Facilitating debate from everyone from front to back bench.
