So, he holds a record for saying nothing for 72 years? Does this make him notable? --Habap 17:52, 31 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

He is notable as a member of the British parliament you twerp. --Counter-revolutionary (talk) 14:40, 22 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I've noticed an article in the 15 March 1982 edition of The Times which states William Romilly, 4th Baron Romilly, who took his seat in 1920, was yet to make his maiden speech. Seeing as Lord Romilly died just over a year later in 1983, aged 84, after holding his seat for c.63 years. A search through the Hansard brings up no mention of him speaking anytime from 1983-1984, which leads me to believe Lord Oranmore and Browne wasn't the only "silent peer". Comments anyone?

You are right; the longest-sitting silent peer, anyhows, 72 years trumps 63 years.86.42.196.86 (talk) 10:13, 8 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Why is his birthplace not listed? Is it not known? Ttenchantr (talk) 07:50, 8 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Can someone please explain to me how the Lord Oranmore and Browne was the father of the house of lords? If he joined in 1927, he would be outdated by The Viscount Townshend, who joined in 1921. Especially considering that this peer never spoke (although the Viscount Townshend didn't either), how was he the father of the house of lords? SpaceFox99 (talk) 05:31, 27 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Father of the House of Lords is not actually a thing, but it is kind of becoming one because people think it is. In the House of Commons length of service acts as a sort of precedence among members, but in the House of Lords it isn't necessary because the peerage already has a set of rules regarding precedence. I think a more appropriate description would be 'oldest sitting member' or 'longest serving member' depending on what 'Father of the House' is meant to mean. At any rate, the statement is unsourced so I will remove it for now. Editing with Eric (talk) 09:01, 9 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
