by inheriting them
<><><><><><><>
This is wrong. Some do inherit their titles, but in fact the vast majority are created as life peers by the reigning sovereign on the advice of the Prime Minister. It is a very common misconception that Members of the House of Lords all inherit their titles. An example of a Life peer is Lord Peter Mandelson of Foy. An example of a hereditary peer is Harold Macmillan, 1st Earl of Stockton.
This answer is correct the British Parliament members of the House of Lords got their positions by inheriting them.

∙ 10y agoThe House of Lords consists of three types of Peers (Lords): Hereditary, Life and Spiritual Peers.
Hereditary Peers are those who have inherited their title through the ancient system - the number of hereditary peers is declining due to legislation from the 1990s which limited the number that can sit in the House at any time, and prevented any more from being created.
Life Peers are appointed in the Prime Minister and the Cabinet, and are then approved by the monarch.
Spiritual Peers are members of the Church of England, specifically Anglican Bishops.
