1932 Sir William Cozens-Hardy
Constituency : South Norfolk 1918-20
William took over from Arthur Soames at South Norfolk. He did not receive the coupon, probably because he entered the field late, but still had a straight fight with Labour and said he would support the government.
William was the son of the former MP Baron Cozens-Hardy. He was educated at University College School, Hampstead and Oxford where he became President of the Union. He became a barrister. He was knighted in 1912. In 1913 he declined the post of Chief Justice of Bengal. In the First World War he was a commander in the Royal Naval Volunteer Reserve serving in the intelligence department. He visited Morocco in 1917 as Lloyd George's personal representative.
William succeeded to the barony in 1920.
William loved motoring around Europe and was killed in a car accident in Bavaria in 1924 aged 55..
