Peerage disclaimer records

[Richard R]

Hello

Is there an official published record for disclaimed peerages? I'm thinking of something like  The London Gazette or HoL records, etc, rather than any dates given in the usual printed reference works.

Thanks

If you look at the peerage disclaimers list maintained by Beamish, you can find hyperlinks to the London Gazette entry for the disclaimers.

Disclaimers used to be recorded in the House of Lords Minutes of Proceedings. Here is the most recent example (item 9): https://publications.parliament.uk/pa/ld200102/minutes/020516/ldminute.htm

When the ability to disclaim was introduced in 1963 the main purpose was to allow those succeeding to peerages to sit in the House of Commons. Since 1999 that has not been the case so there is now little purpose in disclaiming, and the only case (the 3rd Lord Silkin) was maybe one of following family tradition.

After the end of this session disclaimers will be of no concern to the House of Lords and presumably any further disclaimers will be reported only in the Gazette.

Thanks both for the swift responses. David's website is 'official' in my eyes (as well in the eyes of the HoL, as the recent report which he posted here shows)! Useful to see The London Gazette link.
