Whips in the House of Lords

All Whips in the House of Lords are members of Her Majesty’s Household. Unlike whips in most legislatures, they speak regularly in the Chamber, often being the main – or secondary – spokesperson for one or more Government departments in the Lords. The “Captain of the Honourable Corps of the Gentlemen at Arms” is the Lords Chief Whip. The Deputy Chief has the title “Captain of The Queen’s Bodyguard of the Yeomen of the Guard “
