Information trouvée : Alexander Frederick Douglas-Home, Baron Home of the Hirsel KT PC (/ˈhjuːm/; 2 July
1903 – 9 October 1995) was a British Conservative politician who served as Prime Minister
from October 1963 to October 1964. He is notable for being the last Prime Minister
to hold office while being a member of the House of Lords, before renouncing his peerage
and taking up a seat in the House of Commons for the remainder of his premiership.
His reputation, however, rests more on his two spells as the UK's foreign secretary
than on his brief premiership. Within six years of first entering the House of Commons
in 1931, Douglas-Home (then called by the courtesy title Lord Dunglass) became parliamentary
aide to Neville Chamberlain
