Descendents of 19th and 20th century Prime Ministers are among those battling it out in the latest bizarre by-election of a hereditary peer.
Three candidates - whose titles have been passed down through family ties - have put themselves forward for a vote among peers next week.
They include Earl Lloyd-George of Dwyfo, the great-grandson of ex-Liberal PM David Lloyd George, and Earl Russell - a descendent of the last Whig PM, Lord John Russell.
