In the past 10 years three leaders of Opposition parties—the right hon. Members for Lagan Valley (Mr. Molyneaux) and for Islwyn (Mr. Kinnock) in 1983 and the right hon. Member for Yeovil (Mr. Ashdown) in 1989—have been made members of the Privy Council. This represents 3·5 per cent. of the number of hon. Members of the House so appointed during that period and 2 per cent. of the total number of new Privy Councillors.
