He sat in the House for three years, before being elevated to the House of Lords upon his father 's death. He is said to have been `` moderately active during his short period of membership, sitting on seven committees ''. The Parliamentary Elections Act 1695 established 21 as the minimum age, but until the Reform Act 1832 underage MPs were seldom unseated. For example, Charles James Fox became an MP aged 19 in 1768, and Robert Jocelyn, Viscount Jocelyn became an MP aged 18 in 1806. Before the general election of 2015, the youngest MP since the Reform Act of 1832 was James Dickson who was elected as a Liberal at a by - election for the Borough of Dungannon on 25 June 1880. He was born on 19 April 1859 and so was aged 21 years 67 days. The youngest female MP was Bernadette Devlin, elected on 17 April 1969 from Mid Ulster aged 21 years 359 days. Both records are now jointly held by Mhairi Black, who was aged 20 years and 237 days old at the time of her election to the seat of Paisley and Renfrewshire South in the 2015 general election. Oldest The oldest serving MP whose exact dates are known was Samuel Young ( 1822 -- 1918 ) who was MP for East Cavan from 1892 ( when aged 70 ) until his death at the age of 96 years 63 days. The oldest ever serving female MP is Ann Clwyd, born 21 March 1937, MP for Cynon Valley, who is 80. Following the death of John Freeman on 20 December 2014, the oldest former MP still living is Ronald Atkins, born 13 June 1916 and currently the only centenarian. The oldest former female MP, following the death of Mildred Gordon on 8 April 2016, is Mary Holt, born 31 July 1924. The latter was ironically MP for Preston North between 1970 -- 74, between defeating and then being defeated by Atkins at successive general elections for the same seat. Oldest debuts Perhaps the oldest parliamentary debut of all time was that of Warren Lisle, believed born in 1695, who was elected on 7 September 1780 during that year 's General Election as MP for Weymouth and Melcombe Regis as locum tenens, aged reportedly 85. He stood down on 21 November to allow his kinsman, Gabriel Steward, to stand for the seat after completing his own term as mayor of the borough ( when he had been the local returning officer ). He died in July 1788 aged reportedly 93. Since compulsory birth registration, the oldest debut where a confirmed birth date is known was made by Sir Robert Pullar ( born 18 February 1828 ) who was elected at an unopposed by - election for Perth on 12 February 1907 aged 78 years and 359 days. He retired at the January 1910 General Election. The oldest woman at first entry to the Commons was Dr Ethel Bentham ( born 5 January 1861 ) who was elected MP for Islington East at the 1929 General Election aged 68 years and 145 days. She died in office, the first woman so to do, in 1931.

Other ex-MPs who have reached their centenary are Bert Hazell, Manny Shinwell, Hartley Shawcross, Sir George Ernest Schuster, Sir Harry Brittain, John Oldfield ( who outlived his parliamentary service by 68 years ), Nathaniel Micklem, Edgar Granville and Ronald Atkins ( born 13 June 1916 ) who is the only centenarian ex MP currently living. Frank James, who was elected MP for Walsall at the 1892 general election, but unseated on petition in November that year, achieved a slightly greater age than Theodore Cooke Taylor, at 102 years 135 days. The longest - lived female MP was Norah Runge who died aged 93 in 1978. James Ramsden ( born 1 November 1923 ), who was elected MP for Harrogate in a 1954 by - election is the earliest elected former MP still living. Shortest - lived MPs One known contender for this record for whom both birth and death dates are known, in the Parliament of England, was James Wriothesley, Lord Wriothesley, who while still a minor was MP for Callington in 1621 -- 22, and for Winchester from early in 1624 until his death from illness on military service in the Netherlands on 1 November 1624 aged 19 years and 251 days. Based only on evidence from his university entrance records, Peter Legh, MP for Newton from 1640, may have been aged 19 or younger when he died after a duel on 2 February 1642, but his precise birthdate is not known. Geoffrey Palmer, MP for Ludgershall from March 1660, died in office on 31 October 1661 aged 19 years and at least 245 days, based on his baptism registration ( 28 February 1642 ). Since the setting of the youngest election age at 21, the youngest MP to die in office was George Charles Grey who was elected MP for Berwick - upon - Tweed in 1941 and was killed in action on 30 July 1944 aged 25 years 240 days. Throughout this period he was the Baby of the House. The shortest - lived female MP, Lady Cynthia Mosley, MP for Stoke 1929 -- 31, died in 1933 aged 34. The youngest female MP to die in office was Jo Cox, MP for Batley and Spen since 2015, who was murdered on 16 June 2016, 6 days before her 42nd birthday. Period of service Longest See also : Father of the House Sir Francis Knollys ( also the oldest ever sitting MP ) was first elected as MP for Oxford in 1575 at the age of around 25 and was MP for Reading at the time of his death in 1648, a period spanning 73 years, although there were eight periods, amounting to 27 entire years ( 1590 -- 92, 1594 -- 96, 1599 - 1600, 1602 -- 03, 1605 -- 13, 1615 -- 19, 1627 and 1630 -- 39 ) in which the Parliament of England did not meet, and his period of service totalled little more than 23 years. The longest span of service of an MP since the start of the 20th century was Winston Churchill who was first elected on 1 October 1900 and left the House of Commons on 25 September 1964, a period of 63 years 360 days. His service was not continuous, as he was not an MP for a spell in 1908 and between 1922 and 1924. Charles Pelham Villiers was the longest continuously serving MP. He was elected in 1835 and remained an MP continuously for over 62 years until his death on 16 January 1898, aged 96 years 13 days. The longest continuous service and longest total service records for a female MP was held by Gwyneth Dunwoody, at over 34 years and 38 years respectively until Harriet Harman and Dame Margaret Beckett broke those records. The longest span of service for a woman was 42 years and 4 months for Irene Ward, first elected in 1931 and an MP until 1974 although she did not hold a seat between 1945 and 1950. Shortest There are cases of MPs being elected posthumously ; Edward Legge ( 1710 -- 47 ) was elected unopposed as MP for Portsmouth on 15 December 1747, four days before news arrived that he had died 87 days previously in the West Indies. In 1780 John Kirkman was elected as MP for the City of London despite passing away before polls closed. In more recent times, members have died after polling, but before the declaration of the results. In 1906, Thomas Higgins was declared elected for the seat of North Galway, even though he had died earlier that morning, after polling day. More recently, in 1945 Sir Edward Taswell Campbell at Bromley and Leslie Pym at Monmouth died after polling, but nine days before the declaration of the results. Both were declared elected posthumously, and both had been MPs for a number of years. Noel Skelton is another example in 1935. The shortest non-posthumous service was that of Alfred Dobbs, who was declared elected MP for Smethwick on 26 July 1945 and was killed the following day in a car accident on the way to take his seat. The shortest service for women MPs has been 92 days in the case of both Ruth Dalton, who was MP for Bishop Auckland from by - election on 7 February 1929 to dissolution of Parliament on 10 May 1929 prior to that year 's general election, and Margo MacDonald, who was MP for Glasgow Govan from by - election on 8 November 1973 until the dissolution of Parliament on 8 February 1974 prior to the coming general election.

Malcolm St. Clair : Bristol South - East, 1961 -- 63 Charles Beattie : Mid-Ulster, 1955 -- 56 MPs elected to two or more constituencies simultaneously Charles Stewart Parnell Elected in 1880 General election for three separate seats - Cork City, Mayo and Meath. Richard Hazleton : from 9 December 1910 until 23 February 1911, when he was unseated on a petition from the second seat, he was MP for North Galway and North Louth. At the 1918 election, 4 Sinn Féin candidates were each elected to two seats : Arthur Griffith ( Cavan East and Tyrone North West ), Éamon de Valera ( Clare East and Mayo East ), Liam Mellows ( Galway East and Meath North ) and Eoin MacNeill ( Londonderry City and National University of Ireland ). However, none of them took their seat in the House of Commons, instead attending the First Dáil. MPs who have sat for three or more different constituencies In modern times, it is unusual for an MP to represent more than one or two constituencies during their career, although before the 20th century it was quite common. MPs whose seats were altered purely by boundary changes are not listed.

In the UK Parliament, William Vesey - FitzGerald, Lord Charles Beresford and Arthur Henderson were exceptional in achieving it on no fewer than four occasions each : Vesey - FitzGerald over a span of 18 years through three by - elections and one general election, Beresford over a span of 25 years after voluntarily resigning or retiring from the House at stages of his naval career, Henderson invariably at by - elections following serial general election defeats in previous seats, in the shorter span of 14 years.

( They sat together for same two - member seat, Gatton. ) Brother sets of MPs Largest set Six brother sets : Francis Seymour - Conway, Viscount Beauchamp ( later 2nd Marquess of Hertford ) served 1766 -- 94 ; Lord George Seymour - Conway 1784 -- 90 and 1796 -- 1801 ; Henry - Seymour - Conway ( later Lord Henry Seymour ) 1766 -- 84 ; Lord Robert Seymour 1771 -- 90 and 1794 -- 1820 ; Lord William Seymour 1783 -- 84 and 1785 -- 96 ; and Lord Hugh Seymour 1784 -- 86 and 1788 to his death in 1801. All began serving in the pre-1801 Parliament of Great Britain and their service in the Commons totaled 126 years. Henry Paget, Lord Paget ( later 1st Marquess of Anglesey ) served 1790 -- 1804 and 1806 -- 10 ; Arthur Paget 1794 -- 1807 ; Berkeley Paget 1807 -- 26 ; Sir Charles Paget 1804 -- 26 and 1831 -- 33 and 1833 -- 34 ; Sir Edward Paget, 1796 -- 1806 and 1810 -- 20 ; and William Paget 1790 to his death in 1794. Four of the brothers began serving under the pre-1801 Parliament of Great Britain and their service in the Commons totaled 79 years. Longest span of service in the Commons by brothers Probably the longest ( though not continuous ) all time span of service by brothers in the Commons, in the Parliament of England, was 85 years from 1562, when Sir Henry Knollys was elected MP for Reading, until the death in 1648 of his brother Sir Francis Knollys ( above, aged reputedly 97 ) also representing Reading, although there were intervals of years when parliament did not meet. They were part of another set of six brothers who all sat at various times. Since regular parliamentary government was established by the start of the UK Parliament, contenders for longest span of continuous service include the four brothers Sir Robert Peel ( also twice Prime Minister ), William Yates Peel, Jonathan Peel and Edmund Peel, with a span of 59 years from Robert 's by - election return on 15 April 1809 as MP for Cashel, to the retirement of Jonathan at the 1868 general election as MP for Huntingdon. Their collective service totaled 115 years and all four were simultaneously in Parliament when Edmund was sitting in 1831 -- 32 and 1835 -- 37 for Newcastle - under - Lyme. Another 59 year service span was enjoyed by two brothers, William Lowther, 2nd Earl of Lonsdale ( when Viscount Lowther before entering the House of Lords in 1841 ) and Henry Cecil Lowther, from the former 's election as MP for Cockermouth in 1808 until the death of the latter as MP for Westmorland ( which he had represented since 1812 ) and Father of the House on 4 December 1867. Thomas Hyde Villiers and his brother Charles Pelham Villiers ( above ) had a span of nearly 72 years service from the former 's first election as MP in 1826 to the latter 's death as a serving MP and Father of the House in 1898, but this was broken by an interval when the former was out of parliament in 1831, and the gap between Thomas ' death on 3 December 1832 and Charles ' first election in 1835. Their consecutive service thus totaled 69 years. Representation of same constituency by brothers Where seats were in the patronage of territorial magnates, it was commonplace into the 19th century for brothers in ( usually landowning ) families to hold seats successively or ( before the advent of single member seats ) even concurrently, before the system of choosing candidates by local party associations became organised on a competitive selection basis. Two brothers successively represented North Derbyshire for a total span of nearly 48 years. Lord Cavendish of Keighley was MP from the 1832 general election until succeeding his father and going to the House of Lords as Earl of Burlington in 1834. He was succeeded by Lord George Henry Cavendish from 1834 until the latter 's death on 23 September 1880. The last set of brothers to represent the same constituency were Frederick and Henry Guest, who did so in connection with two successive constituencies : East Dorset. Frederick was first elected at the January 1910 General Election but was unable to take his seat due to irregularity by an election agent, causing a by - election in June 1910 when he stepped aside in favour of Henry, who held the seat until the December 1910 General Election when Henry in turn stepped aside in favour of Frederick who was elected, to hold the seat until the 1922 General Election. Plymouth Drake, of which Frederick was MP from 1931 to his death in 1937 when Henry succeeded him at the by - election and held the seat until the 1945 General Election. Brother sets serving after the 2017 general election Complete set - Boris Johnson, MP for Henley 2001 -- 08 and Uxbridge and South Ruislip from May 2015, and Jo Johnson, MP for Orpington from 2010. Set with one brother still serving - David Miliband, MP for South Shields 2001 -- 13, and Ed Miliband, MP for Doncaster North from 2005. Brother - sister sets of MPs Gwilym Lloyd George ( later 1st Viscount Tenby ), MP for Pembrokeshire 1922 -- 24 and 1929 -- 50 and Newcastle upon Tyne North 1951 -- 57, and sister Lady Megan Lloyd George, MP for Anglesey 1929 -- 51 and Carmarthen 1957 -- 66. Victor Cazalet, MP for Chippenham 1924 -- 43 and his sister Thelma Cazalet - Keir, MP for Islington East 1931 -- 45. Brother - sister set serving after the 2017 general election Keith Vaz, MP for Leicester East from 1987, and sister Valerie Vaz, MP for Walsall South from 2010. Twins James Grenville and Richard Grenville sat together as MPs for Buckingham from 1774 to 1780. Edward John Stanley, MP for North Cheshire, sat alongside his brother William Owen Stanley, MP for Anglesey, from 1837 to 1841. Angela Eagle and Maria Eagle, mentioned above, are the only twin sisters to have sat in the Commons together, last elected in 2017. Ethnic minorities Main article : List of ethnic minority politicians in the United Kingdom First general election victors by religious affiliation When the UK Parliament was established in 1801, non-Anglicans were prevented from taking their seats as MPs under the Test Act 1672. However, Methodists took communion at Anglican churches until 1795, and some continued to do so, and many Presbyterians were prepared to accept Anglican communion, thus ensuring that members of these creeds were represented in the Parliament. Some Unitarians were also elected. The first Roman Catholic general election victors in the UK Parliament were at the 1830 general election. They included Daniel O'Connell and James Patrick Mahon in Clare. The first Quaker general election victor was Joseph Pease, at the 1832 general election. The first Moravian general election victor was Charles Hindley, at the 1835 general election. Lionel de Rothschild was the first Jewish general election victor, at the 1847 general election. He was not permitted to take his seat until 1858. The first declared atheist to win a general election was Charles Bradlaugh at the 1880 general election. He was not permitted to take the oath until January 1886, although he sat briefly in 1880 -- 81 when permitted to affirm allegiance ; a legal action later held that affirmation had no effect. Dadabhai Naoroji was the first Parsi general election victor at the 1892 general election. Piara Khabra became the first Sikh general election victor, at the 1992 general election. Terry Rooney became the first Mormon general election victor at the 1992 general election, after being initially elected for his seat at a by - election in 1990. The first Muslim general election victor was Mohammad Sarwar at the 1997 general election. The first Hindu general election victor was Shailesh Vara at the 2005 general election. Physical attributes Heaviest The heaviest MP of all time is believed to be Sir Cyril Smith, MP for Rochdale between 1972 and 1992, who weighed 189.6 kg ( nearly 30 stone ) at his peak in 1976. Tallest The tallest MP of all time is believed to be Daniel Kawczynski at 6 feet 8 ⁄ inches ( 204.5 cm ) in 2007, later stated to be 6 feet 9 inches ( 2.06 m ) in 2014. Before Kawczynski 's election for Shrewsbury and Atcham in 2005, the record was held by Louis Gluckstein, MP for Nottingham East between 1931 and 1945, who measured 2.02 metres ( 6 feet 8 inches ). Among pre-20th - century MPs, Sir John Cheyne ( c. 1442 -- 1499 ), known among contemporaries as the `` Vigorous Knight '' and MP for Wiltshire between 1471 and 1481, has been estimated to have been 6 feet 8 inches ( 2.03 m ) tall, based on analysis of his femur ( measuring 21 inches / 53 cm ) found in his tomb. Shortest Not counting MPs who served as minors, adult contenders for this record in modern times include Sarah Teather, MP for Brent East 2003 -- 10 and Brent Central 2010 -- 2015, who in 2014 was held to be the shortest MP then sitting, at 4 feet 10 inches ( 1.47 m ).
