Rhys Gerran Lloyd, Baron Lloyd of Kilgerran (12 August 1907–30 January 1991) was a Welsh Liberal Party politician.
Lloyd studied at Selwyn College, Cambridge, before taking a teaching post at Bembridge School on the Isle of Wight, where he involved himself in the trusteeship of various organisations relating to John Ruskin. He became a barrister in 1939, specialising in patent law, then became a Queen's Counsel in 1961.[1]
Lloyd stood unsuccessfully for the Liberal Party in Anglesey at the 1959 UK general election, becoming President of the Welsh Liberal Party from 1971 to 1974, and of the British Liberal Party in 1973–74. In 1973, he was given a life peerage, and in the Lords, he focussed on developments in patent and copyright law. From 1977 to 1983, he was joint treasurer of the party, with Monroe Palmer.[1]
