_. The 5th Lord Monkswell, who has died aged 73, was one of the more colourful members of the unreformed Upper House; by trade a former lathe operator, van driver, tractor engineer and fruit juice factory operative, in 1984 he became the first person in history to reclaim a hereditary title after it had been renounced by his father, and took his place on the Labour benches....

Having done jobs that included van driver and tractor engineer, he took his seat in the Lords and became a thorn in the Labour Party's side
