As shown, at Westminster (in the English then successor British parliaments) 4 seats were incepted in 1603 and the final total, 12, were abolished in 1950.

The Northern Irish body was the last in the UK to abolish such seats: it abolished its four for Queens, Belfast in 1969.

Six such seats continue in [[Seanad Éireann]], the upper chamber of the [[Oireachtas]] (legislature of the [[Republic of Ireland]]). They are the sole directly elected members of the Seanad, with the remainder of the seats being elected by a combination of members of Oireachtas, incoming [[Teachta Dála|TD]]s and outgoing Senators, and local councillors, along with [[Nominated members of Seanad Éireann|11 members]] appointed by the [[Taoiseach]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.citizensinformation.ie/en/government-in-ireland/houses-of-the-oireachtas/the-seanad/|title=Seanad|website=Citizens Information}}</ref>
