Background

Political career

Lane-Fox was returned to parliament as one of two representatives for Helston in 1832. He became the sole representative after the Great Reform Act of 1832 reduced the constituency to one seat.

[4] In 1847 he was once again elected for Beverley, a seat he held until 1852.
