A rather fortuitous freedom of information request to the House of Lords has led me to be in possession of this list of those Members of the House of Lords with territorial designations outside the United Kingdom, just as all the talk still centres on the Lord Lebedev, whose designation includes Siberia, of all places. This information could no doubt be garnered from public sources with painstaking work, but I rather thought I would make things easier. This is sort of legal style, inasmuch as it deals with styles and titles of the people who, in part, make our laws. Please note, peers marked with an asterisk are hereditary peers.
Ireland
The Rt Hon the Lord Brabazon of Tara*
The Rt Hon The Earl of Clancarty*
The Rt Hon The Earl of Cork & Orrery*
The Rt Hon The Earl of Courtown*
The Rt Hon The Earl of Listowe *
The Commonwealth Realms
The Rt Hon The Baroness Gardner of Parkes,
of Southgate in Greater London and of Parkes in the State of New South Wales and Commonwealth of Australia
The Rt Hon The Baroness Lawrence of Clarendon,
of Clarendon in the Commonwealth Realm of Jamaica
The Commonwealth Republics
The Rt Hon The Baroness Osamor,
of Tottenham in the London Borough of Haringey and of Asaba in the Republic of Nigeria [sic]1
The Rt Hon The Lord Sentamu,
of Lindisfarne in the County of Northumberland and of Masooli in the Republic of Uganda
The Rest of the World
The Right Hon The Baroness Shafik,
of Camden in the London Borough of Camden and of Alexandria in the Arab Republic of Egypt
The Right Hon The Lord Lebedev,
of Hampton in the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames and of Siberia in the Russian Federation
Annoyingly, this is the incorrect name of the State; it is in fact, the Federal Republic of Nigeria! However, this is the format in which the House sent me the information, and therefore, I have no choice but to print it as such.↩︎
