List of elected hereditary peers under the House of Lords Act 1999

This is a list of hereditary peers elected to serve in the House of Lords under the provisions of the House of Lords Act 1999 and the Standing Orders of the House of Lords. Aside from the Earl Marshal (the Duke of Norfolk) and the person performing the office of Lord Great Chamberlain (currently the Marquess of Cholmondeley), all hereditary peers not also created life peers must be elected by other peers. Peers are either elected to serve as deputy speakers by all sitting members of House of Lords or are elected by one of four party groupings of hereditary peers sitting in the House.

The House of Lords Act 1999 excluded all peers sitting by virtue of a hereditary peerage except for the two royal office holders and 90 peers to be chosen as provided by the House of Lords. The House determined that the 90 would be divided as follows: 15 deputy speakers, 42 Conservatives, 28 Crossbenchers, 3 Liberal Democrats, and 2 Labour. The deputy speakers were chosen by all members of the House, and the other peers by hereditary peers of the appropriate political grouping.

The initial elections took place before the House of Lords Act took effect; therefore, all hereditary peers were able to take part in those elections. For a period beginning at the end of the 1998/99 session of parliament and ending with the first session of the following parliament, vacancies were to be filled by runners up in those initial elections. Two Crossbench peers, the Lord Cobbold and the Lord Chorley, returned to the House of Lords this way. Since then, vacancies among the deputy speakers have been filled through by-election, with all members of the House of Lords entitled to vote. For vacancies in the party groupings, only hereditary peers of that group sitting in the House of Lords may vote in the ensuing by-election.
