Designado primer barón de Llanover en 1838 y nombrado Secretario de Trabajo en 1855. En éste puesto ordenó la construcción de la Torre del Reloj del Parlamento dándosele el sobrenombre de la campana "Big Ben" (posiblemente en su honor: big= gran, Ben = apócope cariñoso del nombre Benjamin) en 1856.
