Hanworth was educated at Wellington College and has taken a Doctor of Philosophy degree at the University of Sussex.
He is currently Professor of Econometrics and Computational Statistics at the University of Leicester, where he lectures in Mathematical Statistics, Econometrics and Environmental Sciences. He has been elected a Fellow of the Econometric Society. Grandson of a foremost civil judge, Hanworth succeeded to the viscountcy (and baronetcy) upon his father"s death in 1996 and took his seat in the House of Lords until the House of Lords Acting in 1999 removed his automatic right to sit in Parliament.
He chose not to stand in the election by Labour hereditary peers to select two of their number to remain in Parliament after this Acting came into force.
Hanworth stood but was unsuccessful in the by-election caused by the death of Lord Milner in 2003. He was therefore appointed/elected on the all hereditary-peer eligibility basis following a death of one of the 90 places which remain based on heredity.
The title is expected to pass to a nephew as they have two daughters:
Honorary Cecile Pollock
Honorary
Charlotte Pollock.
