Lloyd of Dolobran, George Ambrose Lloyd, 1st Baron (1879–1941)

English diplomat, administrator, and statesman. He was governor of Bombay (now Mumbai) 1918–23. During that time, he had to deal with the disorders following the breakdown of negotiations between the viceroy, Lord Reading, and the Indian faction led by Gandhi.

He was educated at Eton and Trinity College, Cambridge. During World War I he served in Egypt and Gallipoli, and later in Mesopotamia, organizing Kitchener's intelligence service in the East. He was Conservative MP for Staffordshire 1910–18, and for Eastbourne 1924–25. In 1925 he was appointed high commissioner for Egypt and the Sudan. He was recalled by the Labour government in 1929, probably because of his conduct in refusing to grant concessions there to nationalist agitation. When Churchill formed his Cabinet in May 1940, Lloyd was appointed colonial secretary, but he died soon after.
