Petition Seek to appoint someone under the age of 20 to the House of Lords

This would be a progressive step forward in the way Parliament works. It would demonstrate that the House of Lords is open to people of all ages. It would also show that we are willing to accept a perspective from someone who is younger and has different experiences to those of the current members. This would be an excellent way to provide a platform for a younger person to express their opinions. Furthermore, it would provide a voice to those who cannot access the same opportunities as current members.

The Government should seek to amend the rules on the age of members of the House of Lords, so that people under the age of 21 can be peers, and nominate someone under the age of 20 to be appointed to the House of Lords.
