Age on entering parliament?
In Response To: Mr. Palmer and Parliament ()

Jack, on the Darcy Hobby thread you said that at 28 he was a bit young for parliament. That surprised me as I had an idea that many people in those days entered parliament quite young.

Am I being misled by a few noted cases, such as Pitt?
At what age was it normal to enter parliament?
