How many Lords have declared they are suffering from dementia?

House of Lords did not have the information requested.

Dear House of Lords,

In light of the public controversy that Lord Janner of Braunstone was permitted to vote in the House of Lords while suffering from dementia please confirm:

Yours faithfully,

Will Powell

HL FOI & Information Compliance, House of Lords

Dear Will,

I am writing in response to your request (copied below) to the House of Lords.

The House Administration does not hold information relevant to your request. This is because there is no requirement for Members to reveal information relating to their health when taking leave of absence or retiring from the House. They are likely to make these decisions in consultation with their families and parties.

You may, if dissatisfied with the treatment of your request, ask the House of Lords to conduct an internal review. This should be addressed to [email address] or to the Freedom of Information Officer, House of Lords, London SW1A 0PW and explain clearly the nature of your complaint. Arrangements will be made for someone who has not been involved in dealing with your request to conduct an internal review within 20 working days.

If, following this review, you remain dissatisfied with the House’s treatment of your request for information; you may then take your complaint to the Information Commissioner at Wycliffe House, Water Lane, Wilmslow, Cheshire, SK9 5AF.

Yours sincerely,

Frances Grey
Freedom of Information Officer
House of Lords
