Gwilym Lloyd George, 1st Viscount Tenby, TD, PC, later hyphenated Lloyd-George (4 December 1894 – 14 February 1967), was a Welsh politician and cabinet minister.
Leaving the army in 1918, Lloyd George found employment working with his father in the post war coalition government.
Gwilym Lloyd George was subsequently a member of the Independent Liberal group from 1931 to 1935, who were opposed to the continuation of the National Government.
Lloyd George stayed in the post until the 1945 general election[6] It was after the death of his father in 1945 that Gwilym began hyphenating his surname as Lloyd-George.
[8] From this point onwards he did not associate with his erstwhile Liberal colleagues (who included his sister Lady Megan) and he was openly supported by Conservatives in his constituency.
[8] His career in Welsh politics at an end, a year later Lloyd-George returned to parliament as a National Liberal for Newcastle upon Tyne North in the 1951 general election.
[10] In 1955, during his time as Home Secretary, he had refused to commute the death sentence imposed on Ruth Ellis; she was the last woman to be executed in the UK.
