"The ceremonial roles of the Earl Marshal and the Lord Great Chamberlain, as great officers of state, are preserved, and they will continue to undertake their ceremonial function in the House of Lords."
"It is expected that access will be facilitated for the Lord Great Chamberlain and Earl Marshal to continue to fulfil their ceremonial duties within Parliament after the House of Lords (Hereditary Peers) Bill comes into force."
The Duke of Norfolk and Lord Carrington will keep their parliamentary passes and ceremonial positions after being removed from the House of Lords. They hold the titles of Earl Marshal and Lord Great Chamberlain, responsible for organizing state occasions. Concerns were raised about their roles, leading to assurances from Labour's leader in the Lords that they could continue their duties. Buckingham Palace confirmed that their ceremonial functions will be preserved despite the reforms eliminating hereditary peers.
