Baron Silkin
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Baron Silkin, of Dulwich in the County of London, is a title in the Peerage of the United Kingdom. It was created in 1950 for the solicitor and Labour politician Lewis Silkin. The peerage was disclaimed by both his eldest son, the second Baron, and the latter's nephew, the third Baron. When the third Baron disclaimed the title in 2002, the Barony of Silkin became the first peerage ever to be disclaimed twice.
Samuel Silkin, Baron Silkin of Dulwich and John Silkin, younger sons of the first Baron, were also prominent Labour politicians.
