The majority of the Lords Temporal are life peers appointed by the Monarch on the advice of the Prime Minister. Life peers hold their titles for their lifetime, and the titles do not pass on to their descendants, becoming redundant upon the holder's death.
Key Point: Life peerages, introduced by the Life Peerages Act 1958, allow the Prime Minister to recommend individuals to the Monarch for appointment to the House of Lords. This system ensures that distinguished individuals can be honoured and contribute to legislative processes without creating hereditary titles.
