Yes, hereditary Peers can stand for election to the House of Commons if they wish. Only those peers who are Members of the House of Lords are disqualified from membership of the House of Commons. That ban has now been lifted. The situation with Tony Benn was he wanted to be and was a Labour MP. At the time a hereditary title would have been a sticking point. So he recounced his title.
