When Lord Falconer of Thoroton resigned in 2007, Lord Hart of Chilton also resigned. He had never spoken at the House of Lords since his appointment as Life Peer , as doing so could have conflicted interests with his government role.

Lord Hart of Chilton lived at Chilton Hall in Suffolk with his wife and two children. He was also the godfather of Tony Blair's daughter Kathryn.
