Gerald Wills

[1] At the end of the war Wills fought Bridgwater as a Conservative candidate, but could not gain the seat from Vernon Bartlett who had won it as an 'Independent Progressive' in a 1938 byelection.

He was appointed an Assistant Government Whip in 1952,[2] and was promoted to be Lord Commissioner of the Treasury in October 1954.

When Harold Macmillan became Prime Minister, he appointed Wills as Comptroller of Her Majesty's Household (third highest in the Whip's Office).

Wills left office in October 1958, was Knighted to mark his service in the 1958 Birthday Honours List and his death in 1969 caused a by-election.
