Geraint Morgan

William Geraint Oliver Morgan, QC (2 November 1920 – 2 July 1995) was a British Conservative Party politician, lawyer, champion of the Welsh language and a veteran of the Second World War.

Bi-lingual from an early age in Welsh and English, he learnt French to a high standard at school and added German and Italian by his own efforts.

His obituary in The Independent (a British newspaper) recorded: Geraint Morgan was never one unquestioningly to troop through the lobby designated by the party whips.

This was contrary to party policy, since British entry to the Common Market was a central aim at that time for the Conservative leadership and notably for the Prime Minister, Edward Heath.

Conservative Party central office tried to parachute Beata Brookes in as candidate, although she lacked grassroots support in either Denbigh, or Flint.
