Notes

Lord Joseph (Jo) Grimond MP

leader of the Liberal Party from 1956 to 1967 and again briefly in 1976.

Educated at Eton College and Balliol College, Oxford, and called to the bar.

He was a successful barrister and publisher during the 1930s, before serving as a Major in World War II.

After the war he became Secretary of the National Trust for Scotland from 1947 to 1949.

He became Liberal MP for Orkney and Shetland in 1950, a strong advocate for Scottish devolution within the UK.

In 1956, he became leader of the Liberal Party and lead the party through some historical bi-elections, but handed the leadership to Jeremy Thorpe in 1967. A scandal in 1976 forced Thorpe to resign, and Grimond took control until David Steel was elected later that year.

He was then created Baron Grimond of Firth and given a life peerage.

During his life wrote several political books and an autobiography, "Memoirs", in 1979.
