	Alec Douglas-Home - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Lord Home, as he then was, served not only as Commonwealth Secretary from 1955 during the time of the Suez Crisis but, from 1957, also as Leader of the House of Lords and Lord President of the Council (the latter twice; briefly in 1957 and subsequently from 1959).
		Home, the first UK Prime Minister born in the 20th century, believed it would be impractical to serve as PM from the Lords (it was widely believed that Lord Curzon had not been invited to become prime minister in 1923 because of his seat in the Lords).
		Home was restored to the House of Lords when he accepted a life peerage, becoming known as Baron Home of the Hirsel (The Hirsel being his family seat in Berwickshire), and continued to appear in the House of Lords into his nineties.

	Alec Douglas-Home
		In 1963, the sudden resignation of the Conservative prime minister, Harold Macmillan, as an indirect result of the Profumo scandal, Lord Home, by a murky process the details of which were not clear, became chosen to succeed him, despite the support of a majority of the party for Deputy Prime Minister Richard Austen Butler[?].
		Home resigned his peerage (under a law which was only passed in 1963) in order to be qualified to re-enter parliament as an MP and take on the leadership, becoming merely Sir Alec Douglas-Home.
		In 1974, following the defeat of the Heath government by that of Harold Wilson, Home was restored to the House of Lords when he accepted a life peerage[?], and became known as Baron Home of the Hirsel (The Hirsel[?] being his family seat in Berwickshire[?]) for the rest of his life.
