He returned to the House of Lords and took up his position on the Crossbenches as a working peer. So the second part of the volume … and Afterwards, which runs on for a further two and a half years, describes his experiences as he participated in the work of the House and, following his election to that office, his first months as Convenor of the Crossbench peers. It ends with his decision in December 2015 to cease recording his life as it happened and turn to the publication of what he had written instead." -- Taken from back cover.Location: UkOxU ASCCL ASCAN Law:Judg:Hope.
