Viscount Chandos

Viscount Chandos

Viscount Chandos, of Aldershot in the County of Southampton, is a title in the Peerage of the United Kingdom. It was created in 1954 for the businessman and public servant Oliver Lyttelton. He was the son of the politician and sportsman Alfred Lyttelton, eighth son of George William Lyttelton, 4th Baron Lyttelton, whose eldest son, the fifth Baron, succeeded his kinsman Richard Temple-Nugent-Brydges-Chandos-Grenville, 3rd Duke of Buckingham and Chandos as 8th Viscount Cobham in 1889. As of 2006 the title is held by the first Viscount's grandson, the third Viscount, who succeeded his father in 1980. He lost his seat in the House of Lords after the passing of the House of Lords Act of 1999, which removed the automatic right of hereditary peers to sit in the upper chamber of Parliament. However, in 2000 he was given a life peerage as Baron Lyttleton of Aldershot, of Aldershot in the County of Hampshire, and was able to return to the House of Lords, where he now sits on the Labour benches. Lord Chandos is also in remainder to the Viscountcy of Cobham and its subsidiary titles the barony of Cobham, the barony of Lyttelton, the barony of Westcote and the baronetcy of Frankley.
