How to Write to Peers

There are over 700 peers in the House of Lords and, unlike MPs, they are not allocated constituencies. This makes deciding which peers to write to more difficult. You may wish to write to a peer that you have some knowledge of, or those who have links with the county you live in (to search for peers in your county, go to www.writetothem.com/lords). Alternatively, you may wish to pick them at random. Whatever you do, please write to as many as possible!

Using this link you can also send emails to individual peers by clicking on their name, and then clicking on the ‘send a message’ link. You can also email lords by searching on the www.writetothem.com/lords website.
