Former Carmarthen West and South Pembrokeshire MP awarded peerage

Hart was Secretary of State for Wales in Boris Johnson’s government and as Parliamentary Secretary to the Treasury and Chief Whip for Rishi Sunak.

He was elected to the Carmarthen West and South Pembrokeshire seat in 2010, however his seat was abolished in the 2024 parliamentary constituency boundary changes.

Hart stood for the new Caerfyrddin seat, however lost the subsequent election that saw the Labour Party come to power.

He was previously Chief Executive of the Countryside Alliance from 2003 to 2010 prior to being elected to parliament.

His recently published diaries have been criticised by some Conservatives for revealing secrets of his time in government, including stories of an MP being trapped in a brothel after a suspected KGB honeytrap and politicians demanding knighthoods.

Following his peerage, he will now take a seat for the Conservatives in the House of Lords.

Rishi Sunak should block Boris Johnson’s plan to give an honour to his father

#politics #StanleyJohnson #peerage #ToryCorruption

#Spare. I’m much more animated about #hereditary #peerage (the upper house #Cruddas, #Mone) than #monarchy (in the UK). Many will find that position constitutionally absurd (that’s for another day). Personally I think #Harry has given the monarchy every opportunity, every reason to examine and modify itself. It has wilfully declined (#SusanHussey). Harry was Army like myself and his mum #LadyDiana was my Col-in-Chief. (Me circled. 1/8/1987, Tidworth.) So I admit bias. A great day btw. #Minden

Memorial of Charles Tennyson d’Eyncourt at All Saints Church in Tealby, Lincolnshire.

Charles Tennyson’s self-importance was based on his perceived notion of entitlement. He had his heart set on a peerage that was linked to the Barony of d’Eyncourt, a title that had been in abeyance for over a century. He would pester his father to change the family surname to d’Eyncourt, which he didn’t. He did eventually persuade him to add a codicil to his will to that effect though.

Tennyson was disliked in his home county, and he didn’t fare much better with those in met in his political career either. Here's what he had to say about the people he was hoping to representing.

‘I have now made up my mind most reluctantly to give up all thoughts of contesting Lincoln. I am most vexatious because I am confident of success but of the absurd prejudice that has arisen against me on the part of several inferior class of voter...‘

Detail on a memorial to Charles Tennyson d’Eyncourt at All Saints Church Tealby in Lincolnshire.

Charles Tennyson d’Eyncourt, and his older brother George Clayton Tennyson, had been brought up with the story of their family connection to the ennobled family of d’Eyncourt. This tale greatly impressed Charles, who would spend the rest of his life trying to obtain the right to the d’Eyncourt name and the peerage that went with it.
