He was awarded a life peerage in 2020 by Prime Minister Boris Johnson. He was created Baron Bellingham, of Congham in the County of Norfolk, on 5 November. He made his maiden speech in the budget debate in the Lords on 12 March 2021.

2019

Bellingham stood down from parliament in the 2019 general election, telling his constituents he had "agonised" over the decision.

As a backbench MP, Bellingham was paid £6,448.25 per month. In The Register of Members' Financial Interests on 21 January 2019, Bellingham declared additional income amounting to £9,583 per month from four jobs:

2017

Bellingham employed his wife as his Parliamentary Assistant. The practice of MPs employing family members has been criticised by some sections of the media on the lines that it promotes nepotism. Although MPs who were first elected in 2017 were banned from employing family members, the restriction was not retrospective – meaning that Bellingham's employment of his wife was lawful.

2016

Bellingham was knighted in the 2016 New Year Honours for political and parliamentary service by Prime Minister David Cameron.

2015

Bellingham became Vice-Chairman of the All-Party Parliamentary Group on Speedway Racing in July 2015.

2014

In 2014, a mining company called Pathfinder Minerals appointed Bellingham as non-executive chairman 18 months after he stopped being Minister for Africa. It was reported that Bellingham was earning £4,000 per month for his work with Pathfinder and that he had lobbied on their behalf whilst working as Minister for Africa. The Daily Telegraph reported that the case raised concerns 'of a revolving door between Whitehall and the private sector, with ministers benefiting from contacts they made in office'. However, there was no suggestion of wrongdoing, and all the work had been declared in line with Parliamentary rules.

2011

In 2011, he abstained on the military intervention in Libya.

On 29 September 2011, while quoting Bellingham, the Antigua Observer described him as the United Kingdom's Minister of Overseas Territories. While in Antigua, Bellingham had commented on the surprise decision of former Premier of Bermuda Ewart Brown to provide asylum to four former Uyghur captives in Guantanamo.

2010

He was appointed Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Asia and the Pacific on 14 May 2010, a position he held until 5 September 2012.

2009

In 2009, whilst debating the Queen's speech, he was described as "looking uncomfortable" when MPs joked about his distant ancestor John Bellingham, who assassinated Spencer Perceval. Bellingham later stated: "I wouldn't bring it up in conversation that I'm a descendant – or a near-descendant – of a murderer of a prime minister. But I don't try to deny it".

2002

Bellingham was appointed as a Shadow Minister for Trade and Industry in July 2002, before becoming an Opposition Whip in May 2005. From November 2006 until the 2010 general election he was a Shadow Minister for the Department of Constitutional Affairs. He won the North West Norfolk seat in the 2010 election, and was appointed a Parliamentary Under-Secretary in the coalition government within the Foreign and Commonwealth Office covering; 'Overseas Territories, Africa, United Nations, economic issues, conflict resolution and climate change'.

1997

Bellingham is variously described as a direct descendant of John Bellingham, Spencer Perceval's assassin, or as being from the same family. In 1997 The Independent noted the historical coincidence that the general election candidate for the Referendum Party, Roger Percival, claimed to be a descendant of the slain Prime Minister. The paper had correctly predicted that Percival's intervention could hand the seat to Labour.

1993

Bellingham lives in Congham, which is situated within his former constituency, and London. He married Emma Whiteley in August 1993 in Horsham, and they have one son.

He was re-elected in 2005 with a 9000 vote majority, and again in 2010 with a majority of 14,810. He was re-elected at the 2015 general election and 2017 general election.
