Thatcher baronets
The Thatcher baronetcy, of Scotney in the County of Kent, is a Baronetage created on the recommendation of John Major for the businessman Denis Thatcher on 7 December 1990 following the resignation of his wife, Margaret Thatcher, Prime Minister (C) that year. The current holder is Mark Thatcher, who succeeded in 2003. The revival of hereditary titles was controversial. The title was not forfeited in 2004 following Mark Thatcher's conviction in relation to the 2004 Equatorial Guinea coup d'état attempt.
It is the only baronetage to be granted since 1964 () and is one of only two extant (existing) hereditary titles awarded outside the royal family since 1965, the other being to Harold Macmillan (C) as Earl of Stockton in 1984. Extinct hereditary titles were given to George Thomas (L) and William Whitelaw (C) in 1983.
==History==
The Baronetage was created by the Queen, on the recommendation of John Major, the incoming Prime Minister, for Denis Thatcher when Margaret Thatcher, his wife, resigned as prime minister in 1990. The Speaker of the House of Commons was pressed to allow a debate relating to the revival of hereditary titles, but referred MPs to ''Erskine May: Parliamentary Practice'' and in particular to the guidance that "It has been ruled that the Prime Minister cannot be interrogated as to the advice that he may have given to the sovereign with regard to the grant of honours".〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Points of Order )〕 His wife was granted the Order of Merit at the same time and was made a life peer after she stood down as an MP in 1992.
Mark Thatcher, their son, succeeded to the hereditary title in 2003 which passes down the male line. Following Mark's conviction for his part in the 2004 Equatorial Guinea coup d'état attempt there was pressure from some MPs for him to the stripped of the title.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Sir Mark Thatcher )〕 John Major told the Commons Public Administration Committee in May 2004 that he had been lobbied by 'influential figures' in the Conservative Party to make the recommendation, against his personal preference.
