QUIZ: Name the 11 Liberal MPs in this 1967 photograph
Twelve Liberal MPs were elected at the 1966 general election. This photograph shows 11 of them.
Can you name them (saying where they appear in the line up, please) and the missing 12th man?
It is a bit early for Russell to have been Brussels.
We should hear more about Alasdair Mackenzie the only Lib MP who opposed the abolition of the death penalty. I think he was anti EEC as well. A champion of a different world-Gaeldom.
Left to right: Richard Wainwright, Michael Winstanley, Peter Bessel, Eric Lubbock, Jo Grimond, Jeremy Thorpe, Emlyn Hooson, John Pardoe, David Steel, James Davidson and Alasdair Mackenzie.

It is a tribute to the Liberal Party that they did not crack the whip to ensure all 12 MPs got in the photo....
ReplyDeletePresumably Russell Johnston was taking the picture.
