Megan Lloyd George

Megan Arvon George (22 April 1902 to 14 May 1966) was a British politician, the first woman MP for a Welsh constituency, and Deputy Leader of the Liberal Party.

The youngest child of David Lloyd George, she was born at Criccieth in what is now Gwynedd, Wales. Like her brother Gwilym, she followed her father into politics, adding "Lloyd" to her name to emphasize the connection. After her father was raised to the peerage as 1st Earl Lloyd George of Dwyfor, she was known as Lady Megan Lloyd George.

She became the first woman MP in Wales when she won Anglesey for the Liberals in 1929. She refused to support Ramsay MacDonald's National Government in 1931 and successfully held Anglesey as an Independent Liberal until 1943. She held the seat again as a Liberal from 1945 to 1951. From 1957 until her death in 1966 she sat as Labour MP for Carmarthen.

Prominent among the radicals in the Liberal Party, she opposed what she saw as the party's drift away from her father's brand of liberalism. In 1949 she was named Deputy Leader of the party in a bid to create unity, but she stood down in 1952 and in 1955 defected to Labour. Throughout the 1940's and 50's Lloyd George campaigned for a Welsh assembly and the creation of a Secretary of State for Wales.
