Life peerage
Margaret Thatcher was given a life peerage on her standing down from the House of Commons at the 1992 general election. This allowed her a seat in the House of Lords. She took the title Baroness Thatcher, of Kesteven in the County of Lincolnshire. She sat with the Conservative Party benches.

Despite receiving her own arms, Thatcher sometimes used the Royal Arms instead of her own, contrary to protocol.
