Where peer may sit, in Lords, returned to power (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

chamberpot

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'where peer may sit' is the definition.
I know that 'peer' relates to this answer. I also know that both the answer and definition are singular nouns

'lords returned to power' is the wordplay.
'lords' becomes 'chamber' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'returned' says the letters should be written in reverse.
'power' becomes 'p' (symbol in physics).
'to'+'p'='top'
'top' backwards is 'pot'.
'chamber'+'pot'='CHAMBERPOT'

'in' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for chamberpot that I've seen before include "that was kept under the bed" , "wee vessel" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
