This is a list of members of the United Kingdom House of Lords who have represented, or have personal or family links with the Ulster Unionist Party.
This list does not include hereditary peers whose only parliamentary service was in the House of Lords prior to the passage of the House of Lords Act 1999, and who lost their seats under that Act.[1] Nor does it include those in the Peerage of Ireland, who have never had an automatic right to a seat in the House of Lords at Westminster.[2]
Note: There is no such thing as the Peerage of Northern Ireland and peers do not represent geographic areas as such.[3] Some do, however, choose titles which reflect geographical localities, e.g. Lord Kilclooney, this is, however, entirely nominal.
^The House of Lords Act 1999 reduced the sitting rights of several hundred inherited members to ninety-two hereditaries described in the Act as excepted hereditary peers
^Irish Peers sat in the Irish House of Lords, with the passing of the Act of Union 1800 this House was abolished and twenty-eight Peers in the peerage of Ireland were elected to sit in the United Kingdom House of Lords between 1800 and 1922, when the right was exhausted due to the Government of Ireland Act 1920.
^In the Earl of Antrim's Petition [1967] 1 A.C. 691 it was held that Irish representative peer did, in fact, represent Ireland as an entity, thus on the passing of the Government of Ireland Act 1920 elections from the Irish Peerage could no longer take place, as the Ireland of the Act of Union 1800 ceased to exist.
