Thomas Bateson, 1st Baron Deramore

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Thomas Bateson, 1st Baron Deramore (4 June 1819–1 December 1890), born Thomas Bateson, was a British Conservative politician. He was the son of Sir Robert Bateson, 1st Baronet, of Belvoir Park. He succeeded to the baronetcy on his father's death in 1863, thus becoming Sir Thomas Bateson, 2nd Baronet. He was created Baron Deramore in 1885. As he had no sons, both the baronetcy and the barony passed by special remainder to his younger brother, George, who became the second baron and third baronet.

Bateson was first elected to parliament in 1844 as a Member of Parliament (MP) for County Londonderry, but he lost this seat in 1857. He was returned again in 1864 as a member for Devizes, which seat he retained until 1885. He served as a Junior Lord of the Treasury in Lord Derby's short-lived 1852 protectionist government.
