Critics from across the political divide have said that elected politicians should be able to question Lord Cameron in the lower chamber.
Lord Cameron has said he can be “fully accountable” without facing scrutiny in the Commons chamber, saying he spends more time before peers than former ministers Lord Mandelson and Baroness Morgan did.
Lord Mandelson served in Gordon Brown’s Labour government as a peer after stepping down as an MP, while Baroness Morgan retained her Cabinet post in Boris Johnson’s ministry after being elevated to the Lords in 2020. It has been used more than once, including in 1814 for the Duke of Wellington, who defeated Napoleon at the Battle of Waterloo, to address Parliament about the wars.
