The slightly mysterious Interim Peers top-up list of 2010

It is entirely a coincidence that the 2010 top-up list was announced on 13 November 2010 - although it was my birthday - and a new list of appointments to the Lords was announced six days later. It did lead to an interesting occurrence, however.

A list of fifteen, to be added to the remainder from the 2008 list, was elected as follows (those actually appointed highlighted);
  1. Sal Brinton - count 1 (19 November 2010)
  2. Mark Pack - count 1
  3. David Boyle - count 2
  4. Kay Barnard - count 2
  5. Flick Rea - count 20
  6. Sue Baring - count 22
  7. Mike Tuffrey - count 23
  8. Val Cox - count 27
  9. Alan Butt-Philip - count 28
  10. Jon Ball - count 28
  11. Chris Wiggin - count 28
  12. Richard Church - count 28
  13. Liz Leffman - count 28
  14. Chris Bones - count 28
  15. Antony Hook - count 28
It was almost certainly a coincidence that Sal was appointed six days later - whilst nominees are warned some time before the official announcement, the timing is rather longer than that. And there have been no other appointments since from the top-up list...
