User:Newprogressive/List of Peers with longest continuous membership of the House of Lords

− The current Father of the House of Lords is The Lord Denham (Conservative), who first took his seat during December 1949 (having succeeded his father in the peerage the previous year). The House of Lords Act 1999 repealed the automatic right of hereditary peers to be members of the House of Lords; Denham was one of those elected to continue as a member under section 2 of the Act.
