I'm have removed the rules of peerage remark. There are no rules to govern courtesy titles nor did the Peerage Act 1963 make any. They are by defintion not matters of law only custom. As the peerage act was the first time a peer could renounce a title the custom as to how to style such people was certainly then non existant. The Speaker of the Commons - who has no power over such matters - ruled that he could continue to be called Viscount Lambton in that place. That's as much as we can say not having a ruling from the Palace or the Earl Marshal.Alci12 12:50, 10 April 2006 (UTC)
