I am aware of at least one peer who indicated they did not want to take up a ministerial post for personal reasons, but for the most part, the following names are those who worked tirelessly for the party in Opposition who have not been given ministerial posts which they richly deserved. I hope I speak for all ConHome readers in saying that I salute them for what they have contributed thus far and hope that they will have opporutnities to serve and contribute to public life and indeed the party in the future.
