He sat in the House of Commons for 63 years, from 1835 to 1898, making him the longest-serving Member of Parliament (MP).

He was a radical and reformer who often collaborated with John Bright and had a noteworthy effect in the leadership of the Anti-Corn Law League, until its repeal in 1846. Lord Palmerston appointed him to the cabinet as president of the Poor-Law Board in 1859. His Public Works (Manufacturing Districts) Act of 1863 opened job-creating schemes in public health projects. He progressed numerous other reforms, most notably the Metropolitan Poor Act of 1867

  • Charles Pelham Villiers, född den 3 januari 1802 i London, död där den 16 januari 1898, var en brittisk politiker, bror till George Villiers, 4:e earl av Clarendon. Villiers blev under sin juridiska studietid nära vän med Macaulay och "de filosofiska radikalerna" (Bentham, Mill, Molesworth med flera). Han anställdes 1832 i fattigvårdskommissionen och innehade 1833-1852 en underordnad syssla i Court of Chancery. Parlamentsledamot blev han 1835 för Wolverhampton och representerade sedan denna krets i nära 63 år, till sin död. Villers var den flitige pionjären för frihandelsrörelsen genom sitt från 1838 årligen upprepade förslag om spannmålstullarnas borttagande, vilket samlade år för år växande minoriteter, till dess 1846 segern kom genom förslagets upptagande av premiärminister Peel.
