Current UK Peerage?

[gilmore]

You are mistaken. No peerages have been abolished. What has changed is the automatic right of peers in the peerages of the UK and England to sit in the House of Lords. (Previously, not all peers in the peerage of Scotland had an automatic right to sit in the HoL, only a smaller, representative group.)

The result of the reform of the membership of the House of Lords is that only a smaller group of 97 representative hereditary peers, selected by their fellow hereditary peers, now sits in the HoL. The majority of members of the HoL are now life peers.

For a history of recent reform, take a look at http://www.parliament.uk/documents/u...Chronology.pdf

For what is being proposed, see http://my.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?...iptions.Page=1

The majority of the lords may become elected by popular vote, and the right of any hereditaries to sit in it would be ended.

For the current hereditary peerage, you might see Debrett's online, but I think it is accessible only by subscription. Burke's Peerage has what you want, here http://www.burkes-peerage.net/ but it is a pay site.

There is also this http://www.thepeerage.com/ but it doesn't contain an exhaustive list of peers.
