Political Career

Lord Shrewsbury is one of the 92 hereditary peers elected to sit in the House of Lords, and is also a whip for the Conservative and Unionist Party. He acts as deputy to Ian Dudson, Queen Elizabeth's Lord Lieutenant in the County of Stafford, and is involved either as a patron or as honorary president with a number of charitable bodies, including being president of the Staffordshire Historic Churches Trust, and the patron of 10 Livings. As a keen huntsman and fly-fisher, Lord Shrewsbury is president of the Gun Trade Association and deputy-chairman of the Standing Conference on Country Sports, as well as being a former president of the British Shooting Sports Council. He is also a liveryman of several London livery companies, namely the companies of weavers, gunmakers, and blacksmiths. He is a member of the Army & Navy Club and Pratt's Club. Lord Shrewsbury has divested himself of many Manorial Titles by the "sale of titles" to third parties through auction houses,^[1] though he retains all rights pertaining to those titles. He promotes British industry and commerce in the United States, and specializes in the sporting guns trade.
