Should Stephen Benn
be entering the Lords as Viscount Stansgate when his father Tony Benn had renounced the title?
It's not like it's a long-standing title - Tony's father being the first holder.
I think the Lords should be reformed & reduced anyway but this seems to me a pretty blatant abuse of the system. Stephen Benn has had a career as Director of Parliamentary Affairs to the Society of Biology & the Royal Society of Chemistry. I think that means he's a lobbyist but I stand to be corrected.

David 14:26 //Scrap the lot. Antiquated hangover from when our betters ruled the land and the labour. //
Agree - tho "our betters" do still rule the land and labour - money always has and always will. The "old boys, (and girls) network that comes with peerages, royalty and old monied families in general still control so much - its simply hidden better nowadays. We, The mere minions, have very little control.

Tony Benn -Anthony Wedgwood-Benn was NOT the first holder
starry eyed alien - naomi knows him

and got a seat as a result of his war work
under tony blairs legislation 1999 - cant enter the Lords by right whether or no he is a viscount
Peerage Act 1963 ( sponsor - one Tony Benn or Viscount Stansgate)

You can give them up OR
