Chandos, Oliver Lyttelton, 1st Viscount Chandos (1893-1972)

English industrialist and Conservative politician. He was president of the Board of Trade 1940-41, minister of state in the Middle East 1941-42, minister of production 1942-45, and secretary of state for the colonies 1951-54. He was created Viscount Chandos in 1954.

Lyttelton studied at Cambridge University, served in the Grenadier Guards during World War I, and had a successful career in industry until 1940 when he became Conservative member of Parliament for Aldershot, a seat he continued to hold until 1954. His period of office as secretary of state for the colonies coincided with the Mau Mau crisis in Kenya. In 1954 he retired from politics and returned to his substantial business interests.
