Jul. 07, 1975 - THE DUKE OF LEINSTER TAKES HIS SEAT IN THE HOUSE OF LORDS AT THE AGE OF 83 FOR THE FIRST TIME. At the age of 83, and after 53 years as a duke, Ireland's premier peer, the Duke of Leinster, today took his seat in the House of Lords for the first time. The Duke was unable to take his seat in the House of Lords at the time of his succession in 1922 as he was then a bankrupt (Bankrupts and aliens are prevented from sitting in the House of Lords).
