In view of the length of several of the entries in this document, we provide the following index. Where a peer's spouse holds office in his or her own right, both peers are listed in the index.
The various government records do not consistently include the academic records of peers; we have attempted to indicate the appropriate degrees, and will of course correct any errors as quickly as possible.
