About the Lords administration

The House of Lords administration provides the advice and services that enable the House and its Members to carry out their parliamentary functions effectively.

Domestic select committees advise the administration on the management and delivery of specific parliamentary services. The House Committee is ultimately responsible for all management and administrative matters.

Directors of the main functions in the House of Lords sit on the Management Board, which is the body that makes decisions about the management and delivery of services.
