The Electoral success of New Labour in 1997, which would be led by two Prime Ministers with Scottish connections, Tony Blair ( who was brought up in Scotland ) from 1997 to 2007 and Gordon Brown from 2007 – 10, opened the way for constitutional change.

In recent history, Sir Winston Churchill, Sir Edward Heath, Tony Blair and Gordon Brown have not been elevated to the House of Lords.

Under the leadership of Tony Blair and Gordon Brown the British Labour Party re-branded itself as New Labour in order to promote the notion that it was less left-wing than it had been in the past.

In recent history, only Tony Blair and Gordon Brown have not taken up this privilege ( although Brown did issue the 2010 Dissolution Honours to similar effect ).

After the 1997 General Election, in which Labour took power, a swap was carried out by the then-incumbents of the two titles, Tony Blair being a married man with three children still living at home, while his counterpart, Gordon Brown, was unmarried at the time of taking up his post.

Although Number 10 continued to be the Prime Minister's official residence and contain the prime ministerial offices, Blair and his family actually moved into the more spacious Number 11, while Brown lived in the more meagre apartments of Number 10.

Blair and Brown's arrangement continued between Brown ( at 11 ) and Alistair Darling ( at 10 ), and is said to be likely to continue in the Cameron ministry ( David Cameron at 11 and George Osborne at 10 ).

Perhaps as a result, Tony Blair chose to keep him in his job throughout his ten years as Prime Minister ; making Brown an unusually dominant figure and the longest serving Chancellor since the Reform Act of 1832.

In 1997, the then First and Second Lords, Tony Blair and Gordon Brown respectively, swapped apartments, as the Chancellor's apartment in No. 11 was bigger and thus better suited to the needs of Blair ( who had children ) than Brown who was at that stage unmarried.
