NationMaster - Encyclopedia: David Renton

David Renton was Conservative Member of Parliament for Huntingdonshire for 34 years. In 1979 he was made a life peer, as Baron Renton, of Huntingdon in the County of Cambridgeshire, and took his seat in the House of Lords.

He is currently the oldest peer in the House of Lords (as of 4 April 2004) and so holds the honorary position of Father of the House of Lords.

In July of 2003, just short of his 95th birthday, he passed his driving test for the first time. He has been a regular driver since 1934, at a time when there was no formal driving test in the United Kingdom.
