He was Governor of the Bank of England from 1949 to 1961. As of 2007 the title is held by his son, the second Baron, who succeeded in 1987. He is one of the ninety elected hereditary peers that remain in the House of Lords after the passing of the House of Lords Act 1999, and sits as a cross-bencher. In 1960 Lord [http://www.cobboldfht.com Cobbold] assumed by deed poll the additional surname of Lytton, which was the maiden name of his mother Lady Hermione Lytton.
