Geraint Morgan
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
William Geraint Oliver Morgan, QC (November 1920 - 2 July 1995) was a British Conservative Party politician.
Morgan was educated at University College of Wales, Aberystwyth and Trinity Hall, Cambridge. He enlisted in the Suffolk Regiment in 1939 and was commissioned in the Royal Marines. He became a barrister, called to the bar by Gray's Inn in 1947, and a Queen's Counsel. He practised on the Northern circuit.
Morgan contested Merioneth in 1951 and Huyton in 1955 against Harold Wilson. He was Member of Parliament for Denbigh from 1959 to 1983, when the seat was abolished in boundary changes. He was noted for very rarely making any speeches in the House during his 24 years as a member. In 1984, deprived of his seat, he joined the Liberal Party.
