| His
daughter, Joyce, writing an article about him in
the mid 1940s had this to say - about him and
about her mother. "Like many younger
sons, he went into politics. At the age of 27,
when he was considered one of Westminster's most
promising young men, he married a handsome, witty
and fascinating girl (portrait, new window)
who was clearly cut out to be the wife of a
Cabinet Minister."
