No more hereditary peerages?

edit

I notice that there's an average of ten hereditary peerages created per year up until about 1964, and after that almost none - and usually then mainly for members of the royal family. Is there any reason why this is so, as the article doesn't address this? What i'm getting at is this: is there some sort of policy (official or unofficial) to let hereditary titles eventually dwindle or die out through attrition? For instance, why aren't former PMs made hereditary earls any more?121.73.7.84 (talk) 09:35, 15 June 2010 (UTC)Reply

It seems to be an unofficial policy to no longer create hered. peerages on a regular basis, though Macmillan was still made an earl in the 1980s. But it will probably take centuries for the hereditary peers to die out completely, if it should ever happen.--Roentgenium111 (talk) 00:00, 21 November 2010 (UTC)Reply
