He was created a baronet in February 1960 [5] and, after his defeat at the 1966 general election, [6] he was given a life peerage as Baron Buckton, [7] of Settrington in the East Riding of the County of York. [8]

Lord Buckton died in January 1978, aged 81. The life barony became extinct on his death while he was succeeded in the hereditary baronetcy by his son, Richard.
