For the historical record - I've just remembered that Margaret Thatcher also gave George Thomas, retired Speaker of the House of Commons, an hereditary peerage at about the same time as Whitelaw's. He became Viscount Tonypandy but, like Whitelaw, he would have no male heirs so the title would die with him. Rather cunning of her, I thought. |
