British peer.[2] He succeeded his father, Pownoll Pellew, 9th
Viscount Exmouth (1908–1970), on the latter's death.
Despite succeeding to the peerage in 1970, he did not make his
maiden speech in the
House of Lords until 20 December 1995. He opened his speech, which was on the subject of
chequebook journalism, with a statement that his main interests lay with the
tourist industry.[3]
In 1975, he married Rosemary Frances Scoones Beauclerk, a daughter of Francis Harold Scoones of West Ham and his wife Rose Frances E. Callis, and the ex-wife of
Murray Beauclerk, 14th Duke of St. Albans.
In 1999, he was recognized by the
Spanish government as the Marquess of Olías, a title in the
Spanish nobility that dates from 1652 and was previously held by his mother, María Luisa de Urquijo y Losada.[4]
