There have been some recent exceptions to this: for example, cabinet ministers Lord Mandelson (First Secretary of State) and Lord Adonis (Secretary of State for Transport) sat in the Lords and were responsible to that House during the government of Gordon Brown.
Na primer, članovi Kabineta, lord Mandelson (prvi sekretar države) i lord Adonis (ministar saobraćaja) bili su članovi Doma lordova i bili mu odgovorni za vreme vladavine Gordona Brauna.
