Baron Milner of Leeds, of Roundhay in the City of Leeds, is a title in the Peerage of the United Kingdom.[1] It was created on 20 December 1951 for the Labour politician James Milner. His only son, the second Baron, was one of the ninety elected hereditary peers that were allowed to remain in the House of Lords after the House of Lords Act of 1999. Like his father Lord Milner of Leeds sat on the Labour benches. As of 2018[update] the title is held by the latter's only son, the third Baron, who succeeded in 2003.
