An hereditary title is not necessarily a title of the peerage.
In 1919, King George V issued an Order-in-Council suspending the Dukedom of Albany (together with its subsidiary peerages, the Earldom of Clarence and the Barony of Arklow), the Dukedom of Cumberland and Teviotdale (along with the Earldom of Armagh) and the Viscountcy of Taaffe (along with the Barony of Ballymote).
The title is strictly not inherited by the eldest son, however; it remains vested in the father.

 Peerage   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
There are various parts to the Peerage which convey slightly different benefits: the Peerage of England pertains to all titles created by the Kings and Queens of England prior to the Act of Union in 1707.
The Peerage of Ireland includes titles created for the Kingdom of Ireland before the Act of Union of 1801, and some titles created after that year, while the Peerage of Great Britain pertains to titles created for the Kingdom of Great Britain between 1707 and 1801.
A further important change occurred in 1999, when hereditary peers were stripped of their automatic right to sit in the Lords, with ninety-two peers—the holders of the ceremonial offices of Lord Great Chamberlain and Earl Marshal, along with ninety peers elected by other hereditaries—being retained temporarily until the completion of the reforms.

Though the holder of the principality and earldom could sit in the House of Lords even before the Life Peerages Act, those dignities may not be considered hereditary peers; if a Prince of Wales predeceases the Sovereign, the dignity revests in the Crown rather than being inherited.
Nonetheless, the House of Lords Act 1999 provides that, at least for the purposes of that Act, the Principality of Wales and Earldom of Chester are to be treated as hereditary peerages, and therefore do not automatically qualify the holder to sit in Parliament.
George III was especially profuse with the creation of titles, especially due to the desire of some of his Prime Ministers to obtain a majority in the House of Lords.
