Whatever happened to the Interim Peers List? (part 4)

With an increasing fall in the level of interest - it was becoming apparent that election to the list guaranteed very little - the 2006 contest for places on the Interim Peers List was rather more gentle than even the 2004 contest was. The result was;

1. Michael Steed - stage 1
2. Dee Doocey - stage 1
3. Kate Parminter - stage 1
4. Philip Goldenberg - stage 1
5. Gerald Vernon-Jackson - stage 1
6. Steve Hitchins - stage 1
7. Sue Garden - stage 1 (12 September 2007)
8. Paul Marshall - stage 1
9. Olly Grender - stage 1
10. Stan Collins - stage 1
11. John Howson - stage 1
12. Christina Baron - stage 3
13. David Walter - stage 3
14. Stuart Mole - stage 4
15. Elizabeth Wilson - stage 19
16. Kathy Pollard - stage 22
17. Christina Jebb - stage 25
18. David Griffiths - stage 27
19. Philip Bennion - stage 30
20. Rabi Martins - stage 33
21. Meral Ece - stage 33
22. Robert Woodthorpe Browne - stage 33
23. John Fox - stage 33
24. Zulfiqar Ali - stage 33
25. Ian Cuthbertson - stage 33
26. Nahid Boethe - stage 34
27. Marie-Louise Rossi - stage 34
28. Joyce Arram - stage 34
29. Chris Foote Wood - stage 34
30. Reg Clark - stage 34

Unfortunately, there have only been two Liberal Democrat creations since then, on 12 September 2007, when just four new Peers were announced, the other two were Baronesses Neville-Jones and Warsi, who sit on the Conservative benches.

Of course, there was another election in 2008...
