Tony Wright, Labour chairman of the Commons Public Administration Committee, which has investigated the honours system, said: 'If we give honours for honours, we should remove them for dishonours.' Thatcher's title was passed to him when his father, Sir Denis, died in June 2003.

Former Prime Minister John Major awarded Denis Thatcher his baronetcy. He told Wright's committee last May he had been reluctant to award the title but had been lobbied by 'influential figures' in the Conservative Party.

[Quote from the Guardian.]

He'll still inherit another hereditry title on the death of his Mother as well.
