Despite succeeding to the peerage in 1970, he did not make his maiden speech in the House of Lords until 20 December 1995. He opened his speech, which was on the subject of chequebook journalism, with a statement that his main interests lay with the tourist industry.

In 1999, he was recognized by the Spanish government as the Marquess of Olías, a title in the Spanish nobility that dates from 1652 and was previously held by his mother, María Luisa de Urquijo y Losada.
