1428 Frederick Leveson-Gower

Constituency  :  Sutherland  1900-06  ( Liberal  Unionist )

Frederick  took  Sutherland  from  John  MacLeod  in  a  remarkable  result  that  reversed  the  usual  proportions   in  the  rocksolid  Liberal  seat.

Frederick  was  a  cousin  of  the  Duke  of  Sutherland, a  previous  holder  of  the  seat.

In  1902  Frederick  spoke  against  having  an  immediate  inquiry  into  a  contractual  scandal  regarding  the  supply  of  re-mounts  in  the  Boer  War.  Otherwise  his  contributions  were  on  local  matters.

Frederick  was  easily  defeated  in  1906.

He  died  in  1959  aged  84.
