Whatever happened to the Interim Peers List? (part 1)

My mind was drawn to the question of the Interim Peers Panel last night, whilst doing some research for a Liberal Youth count. So, as a service to historians, I thought that I'd look back at the 1999 election, and see what happened to some of the fifty eminent Liberal Democrats who were successful.

In order of election, with the stage at which they were successful (those who got a peerage are highlighted in Lords colours);

1. David Bellotti - stage 1
2. Ramesh Dewan - stage 1
3. Tony Greaves - stage 1 (31 March 2000)
4. Rupert Redesdale -stage 1 (31 March 2000)
5. Roger Roberts - stage 1 (30 April 2004)
6. Lindsay Granshaw - stage 29 (31 March 2000)
7. Viv Bingham - stage 57
8. Jane Bonham-Carter - stage 79 (30 April 2004)
9. Elizabeth Shields - stage 84
10. Alex Wilcock - stage 85
11. Joan Walmsley - stage 91 (31 March 2000)
12. Ros Scott - stage 98 (31 March 2000)
13. Fiona Hall - stage 100
14. Candy Piercey - stage 108
15. Flo Clucas - stage 115
16. Philip Goldenberg - stage 119
17. Monroe Palmer - stage 121
18. Sharon Bowles - stage 122
19. Jonathan Fryer - stage 124
20. Val Cox - stage 125
21. Flick Rea - stage 125
22. Michael Steed - stage 128
23. David Williams - stage 128
24. John Tilley - stage 131
25. Sue Baring - stage 132
26. Hilary Stephenson - stage 132
27. Atul Vadher - stage 132
28. Paula Yates - stage 132
29. Robert Adamson - stage 133
30. Michael Anderson - stage 133
31. Sarah Boad - stage 135
32. David Boyle - stage 135
33. Alan Butt Philip - stage 135
34. Ruth Coleman - stage 135
35. Gordon Lishman - stage 135
36. Keith House - stage 136
37. Bill Le Breton - stage 136
38. Dee Doocey - stage 139
39. Iain King - stage 139
40. Rowland Morgan - stage 139
41. Alison Willott - stage 139
42. Ralph Bancroft - stage 140
43. Frances David - stage 140
44. Jock Gallagher - stage 140
45. Josephine Hayes - stage 140
46. Matthew Oakeshott - stage 140 (31 March 2000)
47. David Shutt - stage 140 (31 March 2000)
48. Paul Tilsley - stage 140
49. James Walsh - stage 140
50. Joanne Whitehouse - stage 140

So, we see that nine of the fifty got a peerage, seven of them from the top twelve. The future Lord Oakeshott of Seagrove Bay and Lord Shutt of Greetland, just scraped in, but as they're apparently amongst the twenty-five most influential Liberal Democrats, they would probably be judged to have been worth it.

An interesting sidenote is the position of one Alex Wilcock. I wonder how different the world would have been if you'd been ennobled, Alex. Would that have brought us the Honourable Millennium Elephant? Also, the two contenders at numbers 13 and 18 didn't do too badly, gaining seats in the European Parliament in 2004 and 2005 respectively.
