Interesting the Silkin peerage disclaimed twice, I recall when at
school that my old headmaster John Murphy had a picture of himself and
the one of the Silkin MP's for Deptford. The latter peerage is on the
verge of extinction now anyway, as there is only one more male in
remainder and he has no children. I wonder why the late earl of
Sandwich disclaimed?

The late Earl of Sandwich, as Victor Montagu, with the courtesy title
of Viscount Hinchingbrooke, was MP for South Dorset
from 1941 when he succeeded his father in 1962. In that year he had to
quit the
Commons on inheriting the peerage. He disclaimed because he expected
find another
seat in the Commons. Sandwich was one of the few disclaimers who
renounced in order
to sit in the other place. Most seem to have disclaimed simply because
they didn't
want to be a peer. Lord Reith, on succeeding his father is reported
to have
remarked something like: "There can only ever be one Lord Reith." And
I don't
think he was being particularly complementary.
