Parliament's longest serving MP is referred to as 'the Father of the House', a position that confers few responsibilities but a certain status. Octogenarian former Prime Minister Sir Edward Heath has represented this part of south-east London continually since 1950, and is thus styled. This part of London is profoundly suburban and Conservative, and as long as Sir Edward wishes to remain in parliament, his tenure here is secure.
