The Right Hon. Lord LLOYD OF DOLOBRAN, G.C.S.I., G.C.I.E., D.S.O.
Tonight's speaker has had a varied and distinguished career, and was a student of Eastern politics from his Cambridge days. Lord Lloyd of Dolobran has travelled extensively in India and other Asiatic countries. He was a Unionist M.P. from 1910 to 1918, and from 1924 to 1925. He was High Commissioner for Egypt and the Sudan from 1925 to 1929, and is the author of ' Egypt Since Cromer ', the second volume of which was published last year. He is a former Chairman of the Royal Central Asiatic Society, but of course what makes his talk of such special interest tonight is the fact that he was Governor of Bombay from 1918 to 1923
