TITLES DEPRIVATION ACT 1917 - SECT 2

Power of successor to petition for restoration of peerage.

2. It shall be lawful for the successor of any peer whose name has been so
removed, to present a petition to His Majesty praying to have the peerage
restored and his name placed on the Peerage Roll; and His Majesty may refer
such petition to a committee of the Privy Council constituted as aforesaid;
and should the committee be satisfied that such person has incurred no
disability under this Act, and is well affected to His Majesty's Person and
Government, His Majesty may thereupon direct that the peerage be restored and
the name of the petitioner be placed on the Peerage Roll; whereupon all rights
and privileges of the holder of the peerage shall revive and be in force as if
the name of the peer had never been removed from the Roll.
