How do you reference a Lord in Harvard APA? #referencing #APA #phdchat

I am referencing the above letter in my thesis (handing in Friday!). Perhaps unsurprisingly, the Harvard APA guide isn't too hot on how to reference Lords. As a result, I am not sure how to reference the letter. Maybe like this?

Deben, Lord, Kennedy, D., King, J., Fankhauser, S., Hoskins, B., Krebs, Lord, May, Lord, and Skea, J. (2012, September 13). The need for a carbon intensity target in the power sector. Letter to Rt Hon Edward Davey MP.

This seems safe, but 'Deben' is not actually a surname (the surname is actually Gummer, but doesn't appear on the letter). Also including the 'Lords' in full make the whole thing harder to read, so it looks like 'Lord Kennedy' etc.?

In theory, I would be happier with:

Lord Deben, Kennedy, D., King, J., Fankhauser, S., Hoskins, B., Lord Krebs, Lord May, and Skea, J. (2012, September 13).?The need for a carbon intensity target in the power sector. Letter to Rt Hon Edward Davey MP.

but would it come under 'L' or 'D'?!

Is there a 'right' answer under APA? Or is this an area where some new ground needs to be broken, as it was with referencing a tweet??

Any thoughts gratefully received!
