so he was a member of the Lords from 1967 to 1999.
A conservative and seems to be not very active, maybe someone with more details?

Lord Remnant obituary
Genial investment manager whose connections served him well in the City
When Jimmy Remnant entered the City in 1950, who you or your father knew was as important as what you knew. It was the start of a varied career that took him around the world; he rarely, if ever, applied for a job because he was usually invited, and generally chose judiciously. The Financial Times noted in 1991 that Remnant “seems to be a throwback to days when the City was a small village and non-executive directors found their jobs through the old boy net”.
...Of average height and with an Old Etonian drawl, he avoided confrontation whenever possible, but liked to surround himself with aggressive, ambitious subordinates...“Jimmy was caught between the new post-Big Bang world and the old patrician City. When it came to a fight, it was not in his make-up. The rules were tightening and you had to professionalise.”
James Wogan Remnant was born in London in 1930, the son of Robert, the second Lord Remnant, a stockbroker, and Norah (née Wogan-Browne). He had a sister, Susan. His grandfather, James, the first Lord Remnant, had served as the Conservative MP for Holborn; he was created a baronet in 1917 and raised to the peerage in 1928.
In the 1930s young Jimmy and his family lived in Sloane Avenue, Chelsea, with a cook, housemaid, chauffeur and nanny who took the children for daily walks to Hyde Park.
...At a friend’s Christmas party in 1950 he met Serena Loehnis, the daughter of Sir Clive Loehnis who worked in naval intelligence and became a director of GCHQ. They dated on and off for a while until, Serena said, “After a three-month break, Jimmy asked me to meet him for dinner at the Coq d’Or the following evening — or that was the end of our romance.”
Within six weeks they were engaged, and married in 1953. They had four children. Philip is a former director-general of the City Takeover Panel and has held several City directorships. Robert has spent most of his career with Jardine Matheson, the Hong Kong trading house, and also ran the champagne firm Piper Heidsieck. Hugo is a land agent in Northumberland, while Melissa is a former management consultant with Arthur Andersen.
Just three weeks before the couple married, Remnant was one of 500 gold staff officers at the Queen’s Coronation. From 7am that day he was an usher at Westminster Abbey. “The only problem I had was an inebriated peeress. I summoned an enormous traffic cop, who gently persuaded her ladyship that she would be better elsewhere. End of problem.”
Lord Remnant CVO, investment manager and company director, was born on October 23, 1930. He died after a short illness on March 4, 2022, aged 91

Sir Philip John Remnant is now entered on the Official Roll of the Baronetage as 4th Baronet Remnant of Wenhaston. He has also lodged his claim to the barony so this should be confirmed next week. Given the Official Roll also refers to him as the 4th Baron Remnant I would guess this has already been done
