No, they inherit the title of Lord as nobles, and along with it the right to membership in the House of Lords. Members of the House of Commons are elected - they are "commoners", NOT nobles, like the Lords. Once a person is elevated by being named an hereditary peer ( a noble with a title his eldest son inherits) he is eligible for the House of Lords. Mere knights are not eligible.
