Yesterday, Tuesday 9 July, marked the start of the new Parliament, with members of both Houses of Parliament attending the House of Lords chamber to hear a Commission from the King.      The House of Lords then started oath taking, beginning with the Lord Speaker. Oath taking continues today, Wednesday 10 July, ahead of the State Opening of Parliament on Wednesday 17 July.    The House of Lords will get straight to work following the State Opening, starting with five days of debate on the Kings Speech.     📷 See more images on Flickr https://lnkd.in/gVVFSxr5     ➡️ Find out more about the typical work of a member of the Lords https://lnkd.in/gvqJ8q_K
