Introduction
INTRODUCTION William Cavendish 4th Duke of Devonshire entered this world with the certainty, subject to his living to come of age, of every appurten- ance of greatness. Exalted station and great wealth apart, his family was a principal buttress of the Whig establishment of the early Georges because they had helped place 'the present family', the House of Hanover, upon the throne of Great Britain. Fortunately, the chronicle of this Devonshire is not merely that of a great nobleman, moving with an unconscious ease between his country mansions, and thence to his town house, from where he might intrigue about the Court or sit idly in the House of Lords. A natural balance of judgement, prudence, patriotism, and above all a sense of service without self- seeking, were by common acclaim his characteristics. These qualities led Devonshire to appear briefly as Prime Minister from November 1756 until July 1757, to which he in no way aspired but undertook in the course of a crisis in time of war. Devonshire was born c. 1720: it is remarkable that the year of his birth should be uncertain. His father, at that time Marquis of Hart- ington, was destined to succeed as 3rd Duke on June 4 1729. His mother was not of a great house. She was Catherine, daughter and heir ofjohn Hoskins of Oxted, Surrey, steward to the Duke of Bedford. Hartington's mother, wife of the 2nd Duke of Devonshire, was Rachel, daughter of the Lord Russell who was beheaded in 1683, and grand- daughter of the 1st Duke of Bedford. -

Hereditary Peers in the House of Lords Since 1999
Library Note Hereditary Peers in the House of Lords Since 1999 The House of Lords Act 1999 ended the centuries-old linkage between the hereditary peerage and membership of the House of Lords. The majority of hereditary Peers left the House of Lords in November 1999, but under a compromise arrangement, 92 of their number, known as ‘excepted’ hereditary Peers still sit in the House today. Since the 1999 Act, there have been numerous proposals put forward for a second stage of major reform of the House of Lords, and for smaller incremental reforms which would end the practice of hereditary by-elections, but to date none of these has succeeded. This Note examines the role of hereditary Peers in the House of Lords since the 1999 Act. It begins by providing a very brief history of the hereditary principle in the House of Lords. It considers the passage of the 1999 Act through Parliament, and the impact it has had on both the composition and the behaviour of the House of Lords. It contains information about the elections and by-elections through which the excepted hereditary Peers have been chosen, as well as details of hereditary Peers who sit by virtue of a life peerage, female hereditary Peers in their own right and a statistical profile of hereditary members of the House today. The Note also outlines proposals for small and large scale reforms put forward by Labour, the current Government and in private members’ bills since 1999. Nicola Newson 26 March 2014 LLN 2014/014 House of Lords Library Notes are compiled for the benefit of Members of the House of Lords and their personal staff, to provide impartial, politically balanced briefing on subjects likely to be of interest to Members of the Lords. -
